Bro, I remember I missed like 2 weeks of watching VCT and all of a sudden TheGuard was just the best team in NA when I came back lol. I never even heard of them. Anytime I saw then after that, I'd always be like "oh yeah that's the team that beat sentinels"

The Guard is easily my favorite team in Valorant, after seeing how they are as a team, and how they are as friends. The comm videos they have on their channel was always a blast to watch and made me fall in love with this team even more. You seriously deserve more subs, cause your production quality is insane, dude. Keep it up, you got a new sub and I'm definitely excited for what you plan later on

I remember discovering valorants pro scene in february 2022 and seeing The Guard for the first time and being absolutely mesmerized when they won against LG and a week after that 13-0ing 100T. That was the point i knew i had to support them. Then seeing them beat Sentinels, LG, C9 and then Optic was truly astonishing. Sadly Reykjavik wasn't too kind to them. In LCQ losing to 100T in the grand final was one the saddest days ever for me. I firmly hope The Guard can win ascension this year. Great video, keep it up.

hey, love the video, i hoped by seeing the title, that you'd include the financial woes by the guard lately with dropping all of their content team and management basically besides their main roster. and the organization now being a skeleton org compared to before. the team doesnt have the support structure anymore and the guard is trying to sell their players until the end of the year or if they arent being picked up, they will drop them at the end of the year. which is pretty sad imo. but i understand why you wouldnt include that. its light hearted val story telling. it would be awesome though if you wouldve continued the storyline until after the end of lcq in 2022

I'd say that is a good sign that the algorithm is pushing your videos to people generally interested in essay storytelling on val esports/ val in general. Hopefully your channel grows. You deserve it
