Who are the big three of valorant?
When it comes to defining a 'Big Three' in CS, the answer is simple: ZywOo, donk, and m0NESY. They are visibly on a different level compared to everyone else. I can even predict right now that the HLTV Top 3 for both this year and next will remain these three. Who do you think are the 'Big Three' in Valorant?

Interview with world champ sports psychologist (LOUD 22) Arthur Leon, working now with KRU
On the brazilian broadcast, we had an on-stage interview with Arthur Leon, the sports psychologist of LOUD 22. If you know LOUD, you will know they talk a lot about how important he was for their championship win so I thought tl-ing this would be interesting.
Some notes:
He uses the player's real names, I added a note only once to explain which one is which and not when he says them again later on, since the vid is short I think it isn't confusing.
When the interviewer says "a system like LOUD 22 one's" he is referring to how one of the experienced players each is assigned to teach one of the younger ones. This leaves Saad free to think about the game tactically while Less and mwzera teach Silentzz and Dante respectively.
Immediately after the match was over, Silentzz post-game had an interview on BR broadcst and he talked about how he is only able to perform because Arthur is there with them, in-person, helping the team

MIBR Mazino on missing Santiago: "At first, I didn't want to go to the venue because the idea of it would make me really sad. I was one step away from it, but it was worth it one hundred percent to go (because of the fans)."

Stage 1 sees Chamber playrate% highest since 2022.
See Chamber playrate% at its highest*
Chamber has been making a gradual return every year
2022 was the obvious peak of Chamber. At nearly 80%, Chamber was inarguably the strongest he has ever been.
From 2023-2025, his use rates went as low as 0% in some regionals, but never exceeded 10% (Americas Stage 2, mostly as a comfort pick for G2's then sub player, Babybay, and EG's Yay, but never as a truly meta pick).
Even Champions 2025, regarded as the pinnacle of a healthy meta, only saw a paltry 3% use, due to Vyse's oversized influence on the meta.
However, 2026 Stage 1 has seen Chamber actually enter the meta as a viable off-meta pick. This is in spite of the ongoing Neon meta, which I believe is actually suppressing his use rate and creating a hostile environment for Chamber to thrive, meaning; Chamber's place in the meta is actually much more substantial than is being led on.
If or when Neon gets nerfed, his pick rate might explode into the stratosphere.
Veto, who was initially proposed as an alternative/competitor to Chamber saw a few enthusiastic followers at the start of kickoff and stage 1, but has fallen off significantly in usage as the meta developed.
My prediction is that all these factors might leave Chamber as the true successor to a potential post-Neon meta.
