Cloud9’s Vanity wants breakout duelist star OXY to play VALORANT like Faker plays LoL

On day one of the VCT Americas Kickoff event, anticipation was high to see reigning VALORANT world champion Demon1 debut with NRG. And while he certainly impressed in NRG’s 2-0 win versus FURIA, he wasn’t the duelist everyone was talking about at the end of the day.

In a long, dragged-out three-map series between Cloud9 and MIBR, international league rookie Francis “OXY” Hoang proved to be the ultimate difference-maker, delivering several clutch moments and multi-kills in C9’s 2-1 win, including two aces. After those aces, OXY did exactly what any 18-year-old kid would do in that situation: he screamed his head off.
