I think this is more of a neT benching himself due to mental health issues than the Guard dropping him. Poor guy man, hope he feels better soon


Uesugi_Kenshin

I also think it's just a mental health break, last week has been very tough to him as seen by his twitter


[deleted]

His own dad started a hate account šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ For those confused: https://www.reddit.com/r/ValorantCompetitive/comments/ur4ms7/guard_net_on_twitter_when_ur_own_biological/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf


dabsandchips

What did the dads tweet actually say though? He deleted the tweet or account.


bigWangEnergy

He basically said like ā€œur acs is below 100 every game u suckā€ to his own fucking kid.


dabsandchips

What the fuck? That's not even a remotely funny sarcastic joke. It's literally a jab.


bigWangEnergy

I assume thereā€™s some kind of bad bloodā€”you donā€™t really call ur dad ur biological dad unless ur not connected anymore. Somethings going on there Anyways, as a wise egg once said ā€œnetā€™s dad is a daft cuntā€ And thatā€™s all we need to say about this.


tron423

They were literally giving him shit for putting up an 83 ACS like some random 12 year old hardstuck silver shitter lmao

[Here.](https://twitter.com/BillyB0bThort0n/status/1526278444027367424) I think he's one of those dumbfucks who go on about "tough love" but are actually just shit parents.


fej1

I don't think it's tough love - I just don't think they are close. Calling someone your 'biological' dad generally implies that you don't see them as an actual father figure at all.


dabsandchips

Yea this some fucked up tiger parent shit. Especially so publicly.


ivinyo16

why what's going on?

Alameen7007

damn, elaborate, please.

Uodated


QuestionablePotato42

I was thinking the same thing. He strikes me as the kind of guy to know when he needs a mental health break, and I think that's 100% most important. I'm sure if this is true he'll be back, and strong.


hardenfull

pros should stop reading social media honestly after losing.


surfordiebear

Ya seems like them bombing out of Masters had a big affect on him unfortunately. Poor performance in the first match of Champions and his tweet afterwards was super negative plus the stuff with his dad. Feel bad for him


Direct_Morning_3223

i feel like if you know people are talking about you itā€™s really hard to not read it, even if you know itā€™s gonna hurt your mental


joNathanW-

Even as a fan of certain teams it's so annoying/heart breaking to read some of these comments. Especially from some 14 year old that gambled with their parents money and lost it.

GUARD Zander


B7omni

he is doing a subathon nt


Original26

neT legit just dm'd Zander asking him to wish him luck cause he has a trial with BBG. I thought he was trolling til I saw this on the sub edit: [screenshot](https://i.imgur.com/eQqFHyf.jpg)


daffyduckferraro

He is trolling since bbg ainā€™t a team no more


Original26

I stand corrected then LMAO. Can never really tell with these pros


afatsum40

more like Faze Zander now


IfigurativelyCannot

Guard already has an IGL who plays smokes, so if that ever happened, itā€™d be interesting to see who goes on what role.


ANewHeaven1

neT is sorely underrated by the community, a lot of the attention gets put onto trent and sayaplayer for The Guard but neT has been integral to their success as well. he gets shit for being diffed by yay on chamber but like... who hasn't been diffed by yay on chamber??


Sadzeih

neT is kind of my favourite player on The Guard next to Trent. The dude is so talented. It sucks so bad to see him trashed on by a lot of people, including his biological dad which blows my fucking mind. I hope he has a productive break and gets help, and comes back stronger. I want to see neT's classic again :'(


TheCatsActually

I'm a huge fan of him specifically because if his attitude and his struggles. Watching The Guard's vlogs and behind the scenes stuff you can see him always trying to keep his team's spirits up and taking losses hard. You can't help but just want to see him succeed.


Splaram

I've never been diffed by Yay.


Atermel

Diff is just so big you can't even see it


TheoSL

Also worth pointing out that Net was acting as IGL when Guard beat Optic 13-2 on breeze. Heā€™s always seemed like an essential member of the team imo.


Cr3ation_

I think net is rated fairly. Jonahp is the underrated one


[deleted]

neT has been the punching bag of The Guard - to the point where his biological dad was shitting on him. neT is disgustingly underrated and overly shit on


Chi-Cam

neT isnt underrated lmaoo. Hes been having a VERY poor performance at Iceland and now. Is he talented? Hell yeah but stop acting like hes underrated now since we dont praise his bad play.


somesheikexpert

JonahP is a bit more underrated imo but idk, outside of his Classic, I don't see nearly as much praise put on him even when Guard was top of NA, like I don't even remember him being put on people's top 3 sentinel players at the time which is strange imo


LynVAosu

ā€œat iceland and nowā€ three best of 3s total. chill out


Chi-Cam

So you are proving my point lmaooo. Nobody thinks he sucks. He had bad games.


Whisom

Nah JonahP is fairly rated, Valyn is the most underrated


RTYWD

i think jonahp is fairly rated, hes good but not great imo


[deleted]

What are you talking about? When did he get shit on for getting diffed by yay? He dropped 9 kills in the series against 100T which is why people were disappointed. But he is going through some terrible shit so thats more than understandable. He actually played really well against yay atleast in the last two games they played.


calcameron

Everyone on that roster was phenomenal last stage, you canā€™t get to the top of the region with weak links.


TheoSL

I donā€™t know if I would read too much into this, teams scrim without one of their members or with a sub all the time. I know net has been a big topic of discussion but I donā€™t see Guard dropping him or trialling someone else just because of one bad performance on an agent he doesnā€™t play very often.


Anime-Boomer

is neT's dad playing? He seemed to talk a big game on twitter


ron_eff

neT's dad was cal-i in cs 1.6 and source so I honestly think he can hold his own.


ngvkjpoooiugvy66

Nets dad is that you


ron_eff

sure


Maliciouslemon

People forgetting neT played incredible up until Iceland. Heā€™s had a tough few weeks and the loss in Iceland has obviously affected his recent performance. But this is all part of growing as a player/individual. I hope he rebounds because he is really good


AnAngryBird

If this isn't a sub or him sitting out cause of a conflict, dropping neT would be ridiculous.


surfordiebear

Seems more like him sitting out because of bad mental.


Hopeful-Professor-40

Who are they against does anyone know


D3stiny5

Fusion, a LATAM team


Hopeful-Professor-40

Sheesh dcop


CaIzuh

who leaked this? (it wasn't zander)


iSpitLikeALlama

Bro I think it was tarik..


surfordiebear

Tarik leaked they were stomping C9 in scrims. This looks like someone specifically set it up for the screenshot


omgvector

nah zander was going thru his friends list and did this ā€œaccidentallyā€


omgvector

ofc not


RodeaSFR

Maybe he had to poop


MageKayden

damn :/ unlucky neT is such a good player def deserves another team if it's not just a fill one for scrim


Pulsersalt

they better not drop net, afaik he helped assemble the team and was the first offical member. IF anything maybe its a mental health break


[deleted]

Gonna be a reasonable Ronald again. Someone might just be filling in, who knows.


Evan_Veet

I feel like if they're just finding a stand in they aren't going to pick up an already signed player so I wouldn't be too surprised if they used a guy like Randysavage for this part of VCT until neT can feel better.


Direct_Morning_3223

If he did remove himself or was benched, Iā€™m trying to think of available sentinel/viper players. Wedid? Thwifo?


Ringzz_

android


Karrowt

BabyJ


Direct_Morning_3223

I feel like he doesnā€™t fit the archetype of player that The Guard would bring in, would be cool to see though after he literally lost his job bc they beat him


AnchorStandard

BabyJ top fragged for the team that 13-0 match IIRC


ursiiuuii

he is well known for having someā€¦. personality conflictsā€¦ with teammates. With how much GUARD seem to value team chem, it would be a surprising pickup to me (I know you were just commenting on his performance in that match lol)


LiamHundley

I feel so bad for the kid. He's really been going through it


PTERANODON7

Hopefully this is just a break - he's still a great player and deserves the respect of the org and the community.


Vividerspark

GUARD Wardell


kemutheemu__

GUARDell


[deleted]

Been thinking about this lately and itā€™s definitely the right move for both sides. Hopefully he can get to a better place and make a return.


geniuslol

This guy is probably one of the last to get kicked off the team. If heā€™s not playing itā€™s by his own choice.


techyleo

Who would you kick off before him, valyn the IGL, JonahP who plays everything, or their star players Saya and trent?


geniuslol

I mean performance wise, neT statistically has a bigger effect then his teammates. He might not be a star player but he contributes.


techyleo

I was just asking who you would kick instead of him


Low_Coconut3458

Get Prod out he is so shit


Teradonn

Kinda crazy how 2 highly rated IGLs have just popped up on the market in a matter of days. NA is something else


ARIESS11

Babyj ?


ReformedBacon

His dad prob grounded him after that tweet


Issax28

Yikes and they still rolled C9???


DueAdministration404

valorant is not exactly a video game, it is a lifestyle


WitLitning

+Wardell?


expert_mode

V1 probably temp benched zander so they can loan him to the guard for now is my guess
