Interviews

We continue our conversation with former SCARZ head coach Daulet “Fadezis” Abilov. This time, we dive deeper into his role as a coach. What it takes to be one, and how to embrace being coached as a player.

With a long-term plan for success, whole-hearted trust in their team, and some lucky, unexpected, and chance opportunities, RRQ have shown why patient team development can be the way forward to the front.

We sat down with Daulet “Fadezis” Abilov, former SCARZ coach and current coach for Challengers Oceania team E-KING (formerly JiJieHao BONK), to talk about his journey so far in VALORANT.

Last week, we sat down with Vera, an intern host for VCT CN who recently joined the official broadcast team in the 2025 season.

We reached out to two CEOs from two different esports organizations from within the VALORANT Southeast Asian scene, Arra “an0raK” Baron from Oasis Gaming, and Intouchaya “Jijung” Chinpinkyo from FULL SENSE, to hear their thoughts about the current state of the tier-two circuit, where their passions stem from, and what it means to have such a prominent role in the community.

We sat down again with Federico “Papi” Evangelista after six years, where he now plays for Global Esports (GE).

We had the chance to speak with Temuulen “consz” Gankhuyag, a former The MongolZ player to talk about the Mongolian VALORANT scene—something we think hasn’t really been talked about anywhere before.

We had the chance to sit down with one of Indonesia’s rising stars in VALORANT, Thomas “Cud” Alfiantino, to talk about his career from the beginning to the present day with Alter Ego.

We had the opportunity to chat with one of Thailand’s top FPS coaches, Piyangoon “MYM” Kitisin, covering everything from his beginnings in VALORANT to the recent disbandment of MiTH and what lies ahead.

We had the chance to hear from Jinboong, a new Korean addition to DetonatioN FocusMe who has also been part of the team’s recent impressive OFF//SEASON run, ahead of the VCT Pacific Kickoff.
