102-0: The Story Behind Valorant's Craziest Win Streak
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 พ.ค. 2021
- Vision Strikers got their start in Valorant with an insane 102-0 series run.
And even though the win streak has since been broken, Vision Strikers were Korea’s Valorant pioneers.
Until now, Korea had League of Legends, StarCraft, Overwatch, and the rest of the world had CS:GO.
But, thanks to Vision Strikers' record, Korean Valorant now has its sights set on the rest of the world.

I think this is what all Korean coaches implant into their players' minds.
In sports of any kind, having a strong competitive mind and being able to stay humble even when youre crushing it is usually the sing of a very good player :p

@Qimodis for 1.6 VS with Termi Glow lost the qualifier to Solo (the 1.6 star of the team)... that was funny at least
The fact that vision strike didnt make it to iceland makes me sad

@@Rod.Machado 33 according to liquipedia
@@Rod.Machado Apparently, 30s is the start of "life" in Korea, people get married and start the life which glow acknowledged. NU solo will probably *not leave* NU but it will eventually happen soon.

This daily dose is all I want! I appreciate it.
I am also a valorant player but everytime I saw tournaments of Cs it feels like they are the real gods dude, every Cs dropouts are now in valorant like a conqueror. How?
Because valorant is a much easier game
I think its the higher skill ceiling. The game been out for like 8 years. So if youre a Global Elite in csgo. You probably can grind to radiant with almost no stress. (Sorry for the bad english)
imagine top 10 team from csgo going to valorant. they would destroy everyone for years.
@@mar-bi6iy if that was the case they would. Theres way more money in valorant. You guys are so dumb. If EU wouldve won you guys would speak differently 😉
@@clipsedrag13 Bullshit the prizepool of csgo is way higher than the prizepool of Valorant, absolut and also per player earnings.
The people who won the most money in Valorant are ex-csgo players, that was benched or not good enough anymore. (5 out of 10).
Also the Teams are making in CSGO way more money than in Valorant.
so go check your facts and make a quick research.
Also for sure the CSGO Pro Scene has a higher skill level than Valorant--> 8 years vs Valorant 1 year.
Would be interesting to put that VS used to play in NA server when valorant beta was dropped. We didn't have beta on Korea that time so they had to play with 180 pings, but their 5 stack still got valorant(later radiant) which is highest rank in beta. You might be able to find DaZeD talking about how good they were.
Can i find link of dazed talkin bout it
@@rainxx3207 It seems like Dazed deleted all beta stream vods therefore I tried to find original post that had screenshot of VS 5 stack with DaZeD face but somehow I couldn't. Original poster also might delete it too but idk why.
Although it's been a year and my brain don't really remember it exactly, To explain this.
That was actually not full VS roster stack. VS had stax, termi(their head coach), argency(coach) and other two. Possibly glow and rb or esperanza(former RIO player). I remember few members still didn't decide to pursue career in Valorant so that's probably why. Those 2 were not using self-indicating nickname so I am not sure about this. All five were valorant.
All five people were having 180-200 ping and they managed to clinch 12-11 against DaZeD and his co in Haven. iirc as soon as DaZeD knew they are Korean he just briefly said "They are really good" and has gone speechless. That's just it lol. Pretty sure they went OT but couldn't remember who has won.
They were kinda famous in NA beta ranked so you might be able to find them in other NA people's a year old stream or vods. Riot devs(Volcano 5 stack) met them in unrated, TenZ also talked about it too, although he probably would have met them off stream. He just said he was surprised about how far Korea is from NA and about how well they performed yet.
With teams like ENVY,TSM,100T,GENG,IMMORTALS,T1,LUMINOSITY,XSET,FAZE,SENTINELS,NRG etc where even 80% of the teams that i mentioned having a World renowned Top players couldn't even have a spot in majors.. Then VS wouldn't do much there no offence tho.. Even one of my fave teams having Kehmicals,Rossi,Shotup,Genghsta(Immortals) is not even on the playoffs scene.. Then its better for VS to stay at their own region league bruh.. No offence.. And i highly doubt that the best team in the world unarguably rn SENTINELS would be able to sustain their DOMINANT era for a long time coz just look at the other teams bruhh no need to say more
@@Z.Chhakchhuak this aged well
The fact that they didnt made it to Iceland is the proof that valorant just has way too many qualifiers
true
100t heretics too hoping they could get to iceland
In my eyes... it makes it more interesting.. for example... if we didn’t have the open qualifying we wouldn’t have the fanatic we have today... and v1 the list goes on
Consistency is very crucial in valorant esports as per my observations, you just can't chill even for a second if you want to go big and NA valorant eSports proves that literally.

Ice cold on the TSM overlay when talking about early game over reactions.
From being underestimated has now become a legend
4:35 it actually did blow in the west, but in Latin America and Brazil. It blew in the mid 2000's and had a huge player base for quite a long time. Now the game isn't exactly dead, but it does have a good player base
A wise man once said "there's always an Asian better then everyone"
Is he named Joe?
@@haxiuzz joe mama
@Faust nah most of them have no access to gaming. More like they grind harder than westerners in everything. Many Asian parents especially Chinese, Indian and Korean make their children grind from early age such as piano, book, etc so they grow up with "work hard play hard" mindset. they rarely complain than some westeners who think they have the privilege.
@@haxiuzz nah he’s called Ligma
@@Girvo747 ligma balls or ligma nuts?
One of the great tragedies of the first valorant LAN is VS not making it to Iceland
so excited seeing this team in international valorant tournament
"the rest of the world had CSGO"
That cracked me up.
its like they dont even recognize rocket league, smh
And R6. And Apex. And COD. And Fortnite. And every other shooter other than Overwatch, which is the only shooter that Korea is dominant in internationally🤣. Overhyped and overrated
@@xbraac I don't think battle royals count they are to random, r6 only came out in 2016 and isn't that big even valorant is bigger then r6 and idk much about cod never watched it in my life and when it comes to actually fps games like r6 and csgo where you need strategy and you don't have abilitys to help you with dumb agro plays Korea can't keep up they have good aim but that's about it if the other team can hit there shots they won't win like that dust 2 clip when they played nrg they only got a site because cerq missed 3 easy shots but if he hit them they probably would of lost the round

damn crossfire, that shit made me nostalgic for a sec
there a korean live action about being pro in that game lol.

Vision Strikers is actually one of the team I rooted going into Berlin, but when Team Secret came with the Bren Esports roster, I KNEW I HAD TO ROOT FOR TS. OTSO OTSO AND ADOBO BUFF IN THE BAG BOYS. They had a great run.
This makes me even more excited for reykjavik masters, i wanna see which region is on top.
I played crossfire as a kid, I completely forgot that games existence, nostalgia unlocked lmao
Been waiting for Valorant Worlds.
102-0 is nuts, but comparing it to NiP's 87-0 is not very fair
Slightly unfortunate that there’s zero mention of the wemadefox era in 1.6 considering most of those players are currently in vision strikers and nuturn. (Stax only mentioned glow and termi to be experienced)
Gotta love the "nerf korea" posters in the background
timestamp pls

Wait... Tastosis are casting Valorant now?!
Summer time fellas! That means Battle Pass grind lets gooo.

Great players and extremely impressive streak, but I still have to give it fo NIP as they did a 87-0 streak on LAN.
Nice team with always new strats, in fact.
1 thing you didn't mention, Vision Strikers has earned the 2nd most money in the pro scene (According to Liquidpedia)
Who’s first? Sentinels?
@@sleepy3350 yeah
As a korean, valorant does surely have its potential as a stable esports in korea but currently it is definitely not major as overwatch during apex times. Korea does have a decent fps esports history with sudden attack back then and we did have some mechanically crazy players. I think currently valorant still needs a bit more time before becoming a major thing in korea. It didn't leave the best impression at first purely because many people were expecting hyper fps like OW but valorant scene is definitely getting better and I think the game definitely has good potential.
My pc been sitting at my parents house unused for about 4 years long time cs player started in 1.3 and I’m getting my pc back finally so excited to start playing valorant
and the fact that they havn't lost a single match was kinda a bad thing since every team in korea could study their playstyle and adapt
"in 2004, pc bangs removed cs:go" damn these ppl livin in the future
Fucking amazing video. Got SUPA HYPED
Same thing happened in CSGO with NIP, Its simply because they're ahead of the curve in the meta, not because they're overly talented.
Wait you finally did this I gave up commenting cause I thought it would happen
and I thought my 1 winstreak was godly
reminds me of that huge map streak by NIP
NIP's run was more impressive because it's actually vs International teams. This channel's valorant content is such a joke making assumptions of the "best" "Gods" team, player when all of them were just domestic tournaments
@@howyoudoin7354 facts
this dude broke my win streak of -5
I want to see them play in Iceland. I want to see rb and stax dominate that event. They'r the best to play Raze and Breach in the pro scene
The greatest esports run of all time. Amazing
@jbt jbg Yeah because ALL the best teams in 2013 were playing in europe with a game thats been out for 1 year. LOL. 102 is more than 87 my friend. Math
@jbt jbg 102 is still more than 87. Facts don't care about how you feel :)
@jbt jbg Agreed, the online era is a lot harder to win than the LAN era. Much more praise should be given to the craziest win streak of all time
They talked about crossfire, I loved that game, havent played it in so long
it's so huge in china lmao.
I miss it
I think the story really went for F4Q even if they didnt have a huge win streak they play for fun showing that even at the top of the top a group of friends can still have fun playing with each other
It's not that they play for fun and as much as people just know them as players who aim for "youtube clips" cuz thats why f4q are known for. Some of f4q are basically ex-pros just like Efina (former Quantum Strikers/TNL which is former sister team of VS) and Bunny zunba from OW. Even if they say they just in it for the fun and to make an impact, they are basically prepped all the way.
@@yumika2451 Yea but its just a lot of fun to see them play and they would always hype up games a lot
they destroyed everybody, and lost the one game that coudve send them to iceland.
thats cruel ! i wanted to see them compete against EU and NA
They just lost one of the biggest important game of their career. They have earned a lot money from champion prize they got straight so it’s fine tho.
if im being honest, them having such a long winstreak says more about the region than the actual team.
@@hmmmm5867 Nuturn from Korea beat North America’s #2 seed team V1 and had a close match against Fnatic, which is arguably the best team in EU(since they beat Liquid during Iceland). So I dont think the Korean region is as weak as people say they are.
@@johnan3398 Nuturn being good doesn't mean all the other teams are too
@@hmmmm5867 Korean challengers wasnt dominated by one team like the other ones. Any team from Vision Strikers, Nuturn, Damwon, F4q, and Quantum Strikers couldve made the cut depending on the day. Any of those teams has the potential to beat V1 or Fnatic. And from watching EU, to NA, to KR region games, these three regions are relatively similar in strength.
You should make a video on my 102 loss streak in valorant
homie rockin the asmongold fade
Love to hear and see achillios
I wish they put as much energy into their cars as much as games.
I bet he was sweating hard on his 100th game 😂
WAROWLL STORYYY!!
Didn’t this 102 happen during lockdown though? So all they could do was play other Asian teams?
Correct me if I’m wrong but that really does knock down this 102 achievement when they haven’t played the rest of the world for over a year.
Don’t get me wrong but 102 is still insane, but the difference between the 86 and the 102, nip went against the rest of the world at the same time not just their region.
I totally agree watch clip some opponents looks like bots....
Yay! CF is mentioned, I stopped playing it though.
It wasn't a 102 straight win streak though. It was 102 with no losses. They drew a lot of matches in there because of Koreas weird bo2 format
Insane that they got fuvkin SHREDDED

@@Jee_oon i know, now its a new top 1 eu team every few weeks and tbh these times were way more fun to watch due to teams being more explosive than now i feel

They confirmed their spot on Champions by beating Acend.
Nip's streak was against teams from all the regions and not only eu ... Vision strikers streak was just against asia ... No disrespect but the pool was small
Even the indian team named velocity gaming had a winning streak for 1 whole year still the south east asian teams were not given a single slot for vct which is pretty sad as there is a huge fan base of valorant in south east asia
2:52 Commentator got some bars
Tbf, I get the narrative that is trying to be told, but the east (and obviously south korea) were a powerhouse for what, 2-3 years in cs 1.6 though. Whislt their results definitely lacked and lacks in GO, they were INSANELY dominant for a period and threw everyone for a loop when they entered the scene seemingly out of thin air back in 1.6 haydays. And that says a lot, considering NA and Sweden/EU had stamps to top 1-3 placements.
They even mentioned Termi who was a freaking LEGEND on the insanely talented team project_kr, which in, funnily or ironically, he was teammates with solo who is in the NUTURN Valorant team who "overtook them" :P
There were obviously other eastern teams well around that time, like WnV who I think most people from that time also remember being insanely good and dominant. And it's no surprise they had the "go aggro" style in CS:GO, as being aggressive was what took everyone in the western world by surprise in cs 1.6. The eastern teams played so aggressive that T's on dust2 were often caught off-guard being flanked form behind when they were hanging around on cat. Which was just unheard of at the time.
You know your game isnt good when someone can go 102-0
