Following NRG’s defeat in the VCT Masters Tokyo tournament, significant figures within the Valorant community have voiced their support for s0m. In a high-stakes elimination match on June 21, NRG was eliminated from the Tokyo tournament after suffering a heartbreaking 2-1 defeat at the hands of the Paper Rex team of the VCT Pacific. Paper Rex was victorious in the overtime portion of the opening map in the series, which was Pearl. Sam’s0 m’ Oh faced off against Patiphan ‘CigaretteS’ Posri in a one-on-one scenario when the score was tied at 13-13, and there were only a few seconds left on the clock. However, Patiphan ‘CigaretteS’ Posri could not plant the bomb in time.
“Run, run, run,” Tarik ‘Tarik’ Celik was encouraging s0m through his stream as he watched the match. However, the NRG player hid behind his Cove ability while holding a Shorty rather than rushing away and running down the clock, ultimately leading to his death. In the subsequent round, Paper Rex was victorious and took possession of the map. Following the show’s conclusion, several people struggled to accept their defeat. On Twitter, he regretted having “lost us the series.” “Sorry.”
NRG’s s0m has the support of courageous pros
In reaction to the tweet, several professional players have stepped forward and expressed solidarity with the athlete. Pujan “FNS” Mehta, also the captain of their squad, said, “No way, not at all.” “You reset on Lotus, brought it back, and were inches away from returning on Bind,” Ethan ‘Ethan’ Arnold of Evil Geniuses tweeted. “You’re still insane.” “One round doesn’t cost the whole series,” stated Derrek ‘Derrek’ Ha of 100 Thieves. “100 Thieves” “You made an effort, Sam.” Tarik suggested on his stream that s0m shouldn’t blame himself for the situation. Even though he thinks it’s his fault, it’s not his fault. There can’t be just one individual to blame for it.”
Corbin’ C0M’ Lee, who plays for Evil Geniuses, mentioned that s0m “played incredibly” throughout the event. The 21-year-old player, a former professional in CS:GO, led the way for NRG at the VCT Masters Tokyo, where he earned a VLR rating of 1.12. Paper Rex has earned a spot in the final of the lower bracket, which will take place on Saturday and pit them against Evil Geniuses. The victor of that series will play Fnatic in the championship game. Fnatic will be the opponent.
