something's History
something is the best player in the world. Full stop. something started competing in Valorant since its Beta days in 2020 as a part of a Free Agent team named Zarplata. something would spend 3 years in VCL: Japan under the radar, being the region's best player on bad teams. PRX would sign something at the start of the VCT regular season in 2023 as a replacement for Benkai, who was benched for personal reasons. He would replace f0rsaken on the main duelist role and started farming Asia's Valorant scene immediately. If Jinggg was considered "too aggressive", something turned Jinggg's playstyle and cranked it up to 11, often to the detriment of his in-game performance. He helped lead the team to a Grand Finals Appearance in Champions Los Angeles in 2023 before finishing in 2nd to Evil Geniuses. He would struggle in 2024 but hit a new peak in 2025 as he emerged from the triumph of Toronto as the consensus best player in the world by fans and other pros alike.
History in PRX
May 2020 - February 2023
March 2023 - February 2025
something would debut as a monstrous Jett player playing for Eastern Russian and Japanese teams before fully switching to VCL: Japan for the 2021 season. After stints with BLUE BEES and Insomnia Gaming, something would sign with Sengoku Gaming in May 2022 and he absolutely fried the competition. He holds the Best-Of-3 Kill record in Valorant Pre-Franchising with 116 kills in a 3-game-match.
something would sign with PRX and immediately make waves. He was like a bomb in a plastic pool. He would be the team's best player in 2023's first regular season split but was unable to attend Masters Tokyo due to VISA issues. In Champions LA however, something stepped up as the team's best player on Jett and off-ball duelist picks like Reyna and Yoru. After the 2nd place finish, something would hit a slump in 2024 as Valorant was shifting towards a more double-initiator-and-Yoru meta in which he struggled to adapt.
February 2025 - August 2025
PRX stopped trying to make the current meta work and eventually decided to play in their own style, putting something back on the duelist position after months of him playing flash initiator, he also mastered Yoru which eventually allowed him to unlock his full potential. He was the centerpiece of PRX's Masters Toronto run and was an important mental leader for the team.
