In this video, we'll take an in-depth look at Gambit Esports' Valorant Team. This talented group of players has been making waves in the competitive Valorant scene, consistently delivering impressive performances and securing victories against some of the best teams in the world. That was until their tragic downfall after the war in Russia, which led to Gambit falling apart. In this video, I'll be exploring their journey to becoming one of the most respected teams in the game, taking a closer look at their strategies, playstyle, and the individual skills that make each member stand out. I Hope you enjoy!

THE REASON ACEND ARE NOT AT THE START OF THE VIDEO:
The Grand Final vs Gambit at Champs 2021 was so incredibly close that at the time, many thought Gambit were still the better team despite Acend winning that series. That's why I didn't include them in the 'undisputed best' list at the start of the video. 🙏
Gambit in the undisputed list even though they lost the most important match of the year isn't fair. Doesn't matter people think, calling gambit undisputed when they got beaten by acend doesn't make no sense.
This coming from a guy who supported gambit in that match.
@@megaman8284 no commend , dont listen to these people. acend were only the best team of the world for that week or so. m3c, loud, optic , fnc all have shown much longer peaks to justify their places
how about fpx

@@kieieiee9343 what u said abt acend is true and it's also the reason why a lot of people liked gambit/m3c (including me) in that matchup. But it's not fair to put acend below gambit because of that since they won the biggest championship of that year. That's what actually matters.
In a different world, Gambit made franchising and won VCT lock in. Legit my favorite team
ahh just goosebumps hearing that🥶🥶
Yeah... I wish Russia didnt start the war, Gambit would be for sure franchised
@@alexksader_zp8554 I think it's not the best reason to wish Russia hadnt started the war, but good idea
@@sisig2419 wym
@@jagason7494 a better reason might be so Ukraine wouldn’t get attack and innocent civilians wouldn’t be killed and injured or forced from their homes. But so a valorant team wouldn’t have to disband is not bad ig
man i miss gambit so much, they were always one of my fav team and its so sad to see them go, and its just a heart break seeing just how close they were everytime
They were my favorite team especially d3ffo
This team was the beast team I’ve ever seen in Valorant and the show they gave
To be honest, banning russian orgs just because Russia attacked Ukraine is stupid. They literally have nothing to do with it… Also nowadays it seems normal to hate russians because of Putin, like how you gonna hate a whole nation because of ONE person? 🫠
@@JustMe-hp3zy America just wants to bully everyone, thats it
@@JustMe-hp3zy I 100% agree... Politics it's inside everything... Now also in sports...
NGL, Gambit has had the worst fate of any teams there are in valorant. They won a title, had nearly the same thing sentinels the next year, and got torn apart. D3ffo recieved the worst fate, while others still got it.
d3ffo was great
Its quite sad that d3ffo didn't get a spot at all in franchising, no one else can 1v5 100t more better than him lol
he's still in gank gaming in the FGC scene
They fell off the next year. Sentinels was way worst after Iceland. They made it the grand finals at champions. Although they lost they kept there form.
@@jy_den i think he wanted a break while the roster build was happening and he went to china
Best team in valorant history😢
Also don’t forget their coach as well
Kru vs Gambit is like watching two best coach in valorant playing chess.
He deserves to be signed by a riot contract team as the head coach
best team in val history is still optic, you can twist it however it's still optic
@@hofkingpin3216 coping hard 😂
@@hofkingpin3216 well optic has certainly more achivements for sure but the best team for many is still gambit.
@@hofkingpin3216 idk bout that
@@riccardo1569 yeah let me cope with the team that got top 3 in every int'l tourney of 2022 😂💀
Tbh, This Gambit Team were the first team to win with legit proper strats. Sentinels of 2021 were good but they were mostly fueled by the fire power and individual ability of their players. This Gambit Team were a well oiled machine that was unbeatable. Thanks Commend for making this video showing how good they were.
I think SUMN FC/FNATIC were also always playing with strats rather than firepower. But Gambit definitely perfected it and I think it is also why so many people still love them, there is just something special about watching a team outsmart opponents instead of just outaiming or overwhelming them.
The amount of times Gambit has made a comeback as well.I swear every week I see them coming back from a 3-11 scoreline or smth
My favorite thing about that Envy-Gambit match is how Pansy and Hypoc narrated Haven. They were sure Envy would take it... No one believe it. Redgar on Reyna, Brimstone!!! when Astra was OP. I remember on the winners interview, Chronicle said that Envy lost Haven the second they laughed at the Brim pick bc they didnt understand how good he was
I love how even despite him playing so well on Brim, in the winners interview he says "I'm shit on smokes" LOL
@@CommendYT He has a love hate relationship with smokes.. What people are doing with omen on icebox today with one ways? He did it with brim a year before hahaha
@@CommendYT Do you think Gambit have a chance of reuniting after the dust from the ukraine war settles down ?
What a great video. It would've been cool to add a "Where are they now?" segment at the end, following each of Gambit's ex members and their current teams.
TBF I think everyone knows where they at.... At least Nats, Chronicle and Redgar. Some people may not know Engh is coaching TSM or that Sheydos is on KOI (Rip his career, can't believe they're doing this to him). But they are very well established players (besides D3FFO)
@@IzabelaSSilva what's happening with koi?
@@ridikelus4413they are last place in masters emea
D3ffO got hit with the "Get ready to learn Chinese, buddy" meme, playing with Gank Gaming in China
The others are franchised: nats and Redgar with Liquid(doing good), Chronicle with Fnatic(undefeated), and Sheydos is KOI(I wish there were no guaranteed spots, need this team relegated ASAP)
😮
this team had the greatest site anchorer, the 5head Igl who would sometimes win rounds by himself, a cracked af initiator, a mediocre dive duelist and ryan gosling. truly a great lineup.
LMAO THIS IS MY FAVOURITE DESCRIPTION OF GAMBIT OF ALL TIME LOL.
Also don’t forget about coach Engh
Who are you calling ryan gosling

@@faktaku. who igled for gambit? Was it redgar?
@@albedo9617 yep
Nats singlehandedly popularized the lurking role back in 2022 that every one in my comp matches started to lurk for the whole round.

What is important to say is that gambit is a tiny Org, with not so much money. For that they actually have the best resume in the world.
- They were the first CIS team to win a cs go major back in 2017 when they got their hands on Zeus.
- Made this Valorant team
- build up an academy team that later on became their main cs:go team. This team literally dominated the CS:GO world durring the online era. Now Ax1le and Sh1ro are both top 5 players in the world and Hobbit completely revived his career.
This org probably has the single best scouting in all of esports and it is no wonder why Cloud 9 even signed the owner when Gambit stopped their opperations.
they won because of god Dosia XD
They made waves during their time in LoL with the most entertaining team in the game history as well. Guarantee they fell off, but the team was rigged full of visa issue and what not. GAMBIT is just unlucky they are based solely in Russia
Man, watching nats as a sen lurking on D while chronicle anchoring site was one of the absolute best combo the VCT has ever seen
Thanks for this. Gambit was literally my inspiration in Valorant back in 2021. My heart shattered when they all decided to split after losing to Liquid in EMEA LCQ 2022. But I'll still remember all their best moments, like their amazing clutches and incredible comebacks.
They were not allowed to play from the gambit org as it was sanctioned due to russia-ukraine war so they played from different name and they split when franchised system was announced..
17:53 Derke with hair looks cursed af
Really love the video as a Gambit fan :) [Long comment ahead]
The first time I saw them play was when they were trying to qualify for Masters Berlin 2021, I never stopped watching them. I remember a G2 match in Bind where Chronicle clutched a plant with milliseconds remaining... Never stopped supporting every match I could watch. I was telling all my friends back then that they would win Masters Berlin 2021 and that nAts would be known as the best viper/cypher player, it felt soo good to see their triumph and tell them 'I told you so'. I always had a saying before whenever Gambit was losing by alot of rounds 'If there was a team to comeback, it's Gambit' .... They were always soo close to qualifying to international events last year, 0.02 will forever haunt me :( It was soo rough and heartbreaking to see my favorite team end, I always try to imagine how they'd fair in the current VCT League, and I'd like to think they would've been one of the stronger contenders. I still do support each and every member in their new teams, it's good to see them compete again, hopefully we get to see D3ffo come thru (I heard he's in the China League)....
Again thanks for this video, I miss GMB soo much
(side note, ever since I started following GMB, I also followed nAts streams, saw his massive growth after winning Masters and somehow I ended up becoming his twitch mod by end of 2021 up to this day, which I am ever truly grateful for... was really a pain to see M3C lose soo close fights)
the fact they took a break and then come back almost winning another tour is insane, imagine if they had more time to train
i love the way you commentate and do these mini documentaries, even though I know the actual events and what happened, these somehow make me question whether or not I'm remembering things correctly. Keep up the great work!
Got to know them too late for the glory days, but I'll always be supporting them in their new teams. Fnatic (Chronicle), Team Liquid (Redgar, Nats), KOI (Sheydos), Gank Gaming (D3ffo), TSM (Engh)
Sheydos and d3ffo wasted talents should play in a more important team
Man, Chronicle's ace still gives me chills to this day. I miss seeing them play together.
Omg. Chronicle did it twice. Winning 9 rounds in a row to make a overtime win on icebox at an international lan event
ty for making video about them
Bro d3ffo was one of the best jett player, equal to aspas and derke. He was so good. Hoping to see him again in pro play
bro played duelists and initiators in Turkish and Chinese teams last year with no big success. Unfortunately, it seems like he can't find his place in new jett meta
i miss those days!! but at the same time, im glad to see them grow individually even after they split as a team, and most especially im happy for chronicle!
I wonder how crazy gambit would be if they were to play in the current meta, also great video commend!.
I was rooting for this team every step of the way since Berlin until franchising
This brings a lot of memories back! All those sleepless nights and the matches i used to see. Somehow i remember each one as vivid as i remember recent ones. Really loved the old team rosters, they are but a distant memory now. Anyways thanks Commend!
dude i miss d3ffo so much man hes my favourite player and it fucking shatters me that he cant play in franchising. sure hes playing in the fgc but it wouldve been great to see him in the emea league
Now Chronicle is most decorated and highest earning player
M3C vs FNC is the greatest match of Valorant ever played. It will never be beaten IMO.
0.02 second 😢
Its funny this vid has come out as recently I have been looking up into previous master winners before LOUD and seeing how the valorant scene had evolved from the start. Never heard of GAMBIT but Ive heard of and watched nAts. Ive always noticed the Masters title he has and can say he is an overall amazing player who receives praise all the time. Also was looking into the two new additions to FNATIC following their win at LOCK IN, and I was unfamiliar with Leo and Chronicle, but surprised to find out Chronicle was on the GAMBIT team with nAts. It sucks to see nAts on a team that isn't doing so well, wish the best for him. Great video btw!
Commend you absolute mad lad, you’ve actually returned to make the promised Gambit video❤
Your content is so insightful and entertaining, so keep up the good work
Gambit had it all: adaptable players of the highest caliber, who were both mentally resilient to losing score lines and calm and collected in the clutch situations
It breaks my heart to see what I believe to be the greatest valorant roster ever formed fall from grace because of uncontrollable circumstances
I have no words for your content. It’s just too good. Keep it up. You can open a Topic request so that people can suggest topics because your Research on these topics is just next level.
The glory days. What a fun team to watch. Also, AWESOME video man. You've been crushing it. I look forward to your videos.
ty for bringing back good memories. cant support gambit anymore so now i just support the individual players and mainly supporting TL
Chronicle the goat was in 2 of the undisputed best teams at some point, makes his goat status even more as the "greatest player"
Fnatic não é indiscutivelmente o melhor time do momento. LOUD perdeu de 3x2 pra FNC, e DRX perdeu de 3x2 pra Loud.
@@luailva. fnatic are definitely the best team in the world
@@luailva.Que?????
Why does chronicle look like ryan gosling in the thumbnail bruh ☠️☠️
nah deadass he is him ☠️☠️
Such a sad story. So much promise but chaos and sadness struck.
Thank you for this
This is sad, but amazing and well put together video
Another classic commend video! Probably my fav video from you so far!!
You are such an excellent story teller. I didn't witness Gambit's prime because I started Valorant too late but this story gives me Goosebumps ❤
can't wait for you to blow up. One of the best valorant content creators the internet has to offer.
i was literally gonna request for you to make a video about gambit i've wanted this for so long
man that was so good hope you can make a video about winners who people thought they werent gonna win it like fpx and acend
This gives me hard nostalgia because I really loved the old Gambit team. They were the most dominant and I followed them since their early days before becoming a dominant team. It's sad to see them not being able to qualify for last year because of the political affairs and things that happened. But it is definitely nice to see them all become the greatest players to exist in EMEA. I really loved this documentary and I hope that you make more in the future! Kudos.
Thank you so much commend for a video on Gambit!
They were my favorite team back then even as M3C since all of their players were so wholesome and had great mechanical skills and incredible synergy and IQ, feels sad to think about their downfall and disbanding.
Also before this roster was formed, Shao was also given an offer, think of having Shao in this core my god.
great channel, especially because I’ve watched vct from the start in reykjavik
you make the best valorant video essays, commend!!
I think that this video would have been stronger if you highlighted where the players on gambit are playing now at the end.
i wanna to see channels like you in brazil, you are the best valorant channel, you say storys if the game had a lot of years and to many story to say, i love your videos, thanks
THIS VIDEO QUALITY SUCH A ON TOP, THE AUDIO WAS JUST AROUND MY EAR.
I was a die hard fan of Gambit. I can't explain how much it hurts to know this team is lost 😞
YO as a huge nats fan i really appreciated this video, I joined valorant during late 2021 and sadly didn’t really get to see much of them at their peak, but sadly by the time i started watching valorant e sports more, they were dismantled. This video helped me understand and learn more on what really happened to the team admidst the russian ukraine war thing. Thanks for making my day!
The saddest part about the whole story, is that Gambit as an esports org is probably done for quite a while, since we don’t know when the war will end and what will happen after that
Thank You Very much for this amazing video!
Babe wake up, it's time to cry about Gambit all over again.
I didn't watch VCT pre 2022 much, but Gambit was the one team I knew. Saw a few rounds of their games here and there, and the team looked so good. I only got into VCT in 2022, and it was sad to see this team I heard about so much not being able to play on the international stage again. This time they have split up through franchising, and it's not going to be the same. Though Chronicle has still proved to be the best, winning 2 international trophies so far.
Gambit produced best of the best cluthes in valorant, undoubtedly the best team and the individual skills of players like Nats, chronicle, and Sheydos were truly amazing
I still remember the final against Envy, Gambit said they didn't had strat for heaven, so the consecutively had gone to A site for 12 rounds straight
Honestly missing gambit a lot!
I would do anything to see this team play again 😢 Legit so fun to watch
chronicle journey is not over yet
It will be Epic if you could do this format with every Team that has been Champion (Mostly OpTic and Acend that sadly didn't make it to franchise)
great video as always my guy 👍👍👍
What a wonderful and insightful video 😄
they were so good together bro its so sad they had to go there seperate ways and leave there team. they started showing cracks in there gameplay when they played as m3c too and eventually all got signed to diff teams sad times for gambit truly a legendary team where every player felt like they belonged and did there part for the team
Gambit were my favourite team for so long and it hurt so much to see them gone
28k Subs??? nah thats too low for this great content :D Keep it up man

Thank you for content 🤝
KRU Gambit was insane is still hurt chronicle's ACE in overtime.
Thanks for chronicling this goat team

Another great video Commend! But for some feedback, the dramatic music during gameplay footage isn't really need it.
Old video but I loved this
Gambit: We are Unstoppable!
Putin: yeah
we love nats
My favourite team to this day
Watching they d3ffo brave 1v1 broke my heart that day
peak Gambit was not just a good team like the other Masters winners, but they were monsters... I feel like they were VERY scary to play against.
great team ❤
and it’s too sad, that they all are not together now.
especially d3ffo 😢
what happened to him?

Literally the video of the month ngl
they were the underdogs everytime and won it ,
miss this team

Gambit are honestly the best team in valorant Esports to date it sad to see them go
Also i think Fpx should also be considered one of the best (right now NAVI)
LOUD and Optic were the best teams in Valo pre franchise, now its FNC
guy said that forgetting about optic?????
I mean the players arent doing so well outside of chronicle so it doesnt seem that way
@@hofkingpin3216 Prime GMB >>>>>> Prime OpTic is what they're saying essentially.
Could you maybe do a dive into Team Secret? I know they’re not the most popular team but I would love a deep and thorough documentary or analysis into Team Secret.
Man I remember gambits reputation was still workin out along with theit teams improvement, seeing all the crazy overtime comebacks, quite sad to see this happen
I'm disappointed, D3ffos insane ace against Liquid wasnt shown 😭
Apart from that, great vid
i forgot how great this team was damn
Gambit is the first pro team i support. Seeing my supported team's downfall because of the war was the saddest thing . But we have one more important thing that really made their downfall. Actually, every team started to know M3C (Gambit) better. Gambit won the Berlin VCT and nAts played the key role to lead them to victories. He lurked, gained tons of informations and was ready to kill anyone who tried to catch his lurk with his insane aim. That's why in that tournament we were impossible to see nAts bottom frag because no one could counter him. But in later tournaments, other teams started to know how to counter nAts, and nAts was no longer the hugest threat although he was still good. At that time, Chronicle rose with his insane, consistant aim and showed everyone he was the biggest threat now. But this lead to the fact that nAts's lurk no longer worked when he got countered, and M3C had to play more gunfights. As a result, teams having many insane-aim players like FPX, Liquid,... could eventually beat them. M3C needed better players to adapt, but their finance didn't allow that to happen, they failed to sign any better players.
Btw, on top of the five teams mentioned in the beginning you need to mention the old FPX, who won Copenhagen.
Btw, rip CIS Challengers. Now the whole region has to try its best to get into other regions instead, which is super problematic
Да помню как гамбит выиграли мастерс. Это было легендарное сабытие и я горд что следил за этой командой с самого ее зарождения и до распада.
We in the Fnatic superteam meta now. Happy for chronicle
Gmb was my favrt team
