![]() Even as early as the fourth round on the first map, Kantoraketti and Niclas "Pengu" Mouritzen managed to turn what looked like an unwinnable situation where they were heavily outnumbered into a winning round. This was perhaps best shown in the grand final against Evil Geniuses. He went from being someone that could reliably pick up a kill on most rounds, to being the main threat for his opponents, and winning multiple fights against two players at a time. In all three of the main event matches, he was either G2’s top fragger, or had the highest K/D on their team. But once the playoff bracket started, Kantoraketti became a different player. Then against Ninjas in Pyjamas, he managed 12 kills across three maps, and achieved a +1 K/D but was the joint bottom fragger on G2, and appeared to be having a hard time. Against Mockit Esports, he could only muster up 16 kills across three maps with a -2 kill to death ratio. In G2’s two group stage matches, Kantoraketti did not have a great time. Who was the best player of the #SixMajorParis? #MVP This past weekend at the Paris Major that is exactly what Juhani "Kantoraketti" Toivonen did, helping his team G2 Esports take home the trophy. When they play against smaller teams in matches with less importance, they still play well but they really shine when they are at risk of losing the competition. If someone is underperforming, try to help them out or encourage them and if the match still does not go your way, move on and focus on improving your own gameplay.There is a saying that the best players in the world, whether it be in traditional sports or esports, always show up for the important matches. It is not worth the effort to be toxic over a video game no matter how seriously you take it. You should also not be the person on your team who trash-talks the bottom-fragger. You should try and learn from your mistakes and improve on them instead of worrying too much about your score lines. Context matters a lot like Shroud mentioned in the clip and each match is different. You can get trades but not recon for your team or create space, which may leave you with a better score than your teammates but still cause you to lose the game. Evaluating your performance is not something that is easy and you will need to actively try and find mistakes in your plays. It is important to take in all of what he said instead of just the part where Shroud talked about how it doesn’t matter if you bottom frag. Opinion: Context is Important When Taking Shroud’s Advice on Bottom Fragging Valorant is a team-based 5v5 shooter and not a free-for-all deathmatch. That, in Shroud’s eyes is doing well without getting a good score as you did enough to help your team win the match. However, you do end up creating enough space for your team to secure kills and win rounds consistently. He talked about how you can be an entry fragger but fail to secure kills. He revealed that “you evaluate yourself based on what happened, not what your scoreline is at the very end.” He talked about how people can be too obsessed with other players’ scores and who is at the bottom of the leaderboard at the end of the game. Shroud talked about how you can “do good without having a good score” and that it is just how these team games work.
