wardell messed up his reputation so bad subroza wouldnt play w him anymore, and subroza was his ride or die. he was just not taking things seriously, and made several wrong turns.

@lvnlifeco.1944

3 ай бұрын

this is actually wrong. Subroza and wardell stopped playing together because they started to be on different stream schedules. IF you ever watched subrozas stream and people always ask about him subroza would say "matt his doing his own thing and were on different time schedules" which meant at the time wardell took a break from being a full time val player, became a variety streamer, streamed late at night to early ass mornings. and then even so, the whole tarik and que with a stream sniper incident, subroza even tried to clear things up for wardell. if youre in the VAL community theres players who were much worst in "their downfall". and also, if you have watched any big time val streamers, they have said, you make much more money streaming and being a content player then a pro val player. Valorant is still a baby, and at the time subroza and wardell were NOT getting paid as much as VAL players do now.

He’d interact with people from chat on twitter, do demo reviews, 10 mans occasionally, and sign profiles and shit for free when people asked sub for sign. His ego was more in check you could say and he was pretty humble with his small loyal community, he was even lent skins to play with. Idk where it all went wrong, but I hope he’s doing alright. Sucks thats just how life works, nothing gold can stay 🤷‍♂️

Didn't know him much during his CS time. but starting anew in valorant he seem like a chill guy. I don't know what happened why did he gradually become weird.

you forgot he had a very short stint with Version1 after he left TSM, he only played for one open qualifier where they got upset by LG

Now in this game, he feels like he's better than current pros even, but people are just trying to sabotage him / dont like him or something. He just seems a lot like the Valorant equivalent of LowTierGod lol.

I was so confused when Wardell got popular. He was always getting crazy stream highlights in csgo but didnt even make it to tier 1.

Bro i nevver heard him literally after 2022 and just now i jeard him again from you i forgot about him fr

I was wondering why Wardell stopped posting KZread after 5 months

Good video and content

so basically he fell because of his ego?

May I suggest also making a video about RoyalG doing the same thing (smurfing) and not getting any negative comments about it? There's been plenty videos where he tries to reach radiant with different agents and starts off in diamond type lobbies... You are radiant, why are you in diamond no matter the situation? It's not right. Would be great to see how the community reacts to controversial, problematic behaviors differently. Have a nice day!

Wardell was one of, if not the, best OP players in Valorant. It sucks to see him now, but I can't say it's not well-deserved.

Grim even called him out for not calling his teammate out even when the teammate informed the team EXACT locations of Grim Walls. His chat was crazy mad and asked him to report the Skye (his streamsniping teammate) but what did he do? He asked Skye at least two timed where Grim was...

He stopped playing CSGO when they was obliterated by Virtus pro 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Title should be "Valorant community find out why Wardell wasn't popular in CS"

Let me put it this way he was capable of learning how to using weapons like in his time in Csgo but when changes happen he can’t adapt. That’s is real flaw as a pro. I believe he had his “second chance” in valo but after certain changes he just flopped. And then became what he is today. Really sad.

Wardell has always been loud and toxic ever since CS. Mid player also lol, plenty of young CS awpers that can replace him instantly

I'm ngl as a CS player we already knew this shit. Why do you think he couldn't find any CS teams for the latter half of his career? It's because he is very well known for his toxicity and overall being very difficulty to play with in any environment but especially a team environment.

He wasn't forced. He was just shit in CS and saw an oportunity to take advantage of in Valorant cuz it was New and had barely any talent. And, as per usual, the NA orgs sabotaging themselves once again by giving massive contracts right from the start. As soon as Valorant talent started to develop, he became just another washed up pro, like in CSGO

I never liked him since CSGO, he has the same attitude back then.

The reason why he left TSM was because he didn't want to stay and bootcamp. He prefers to play online in his house, and at that time he has A LOT of sponsors and I believe that's the main reason he lost his will to compete, because he already gained so much money he even built his own gym house

Such a shame. I just thought he simply fell off like myth cause I stopped playing the game and watching Val content for a long while. I remember watching a video about how Valorant saved his career after CS when the game was relatively new.

lesson to be learned: stay humble, work with your teammate, dont get into crypto and stop being a burden to others in games and irl.

the same since csgo

cant spell wardell without 2 Ls

Seems like he just bumped heads with everyone he interacted with.. but then again when you have to deal with Subroza's lame/fake attitude the whole time IDK LOL.

Any CS fan knows some of the NA players in that era had insufferably high egos 💀 And that was when they achieved nothing in CS. Can’t imagine how they act after doing something in Valo 😂

I LOVED watching TSM Valorant when Val first came out... Drone was my main man... But hey, wardell can be just like TSM's owner Andy and be a man child and fuck his reputation up that's on him
