I wasnt expecting anything of this caliber to be made for vail. The video commentary, music, and editing choices were astounding. It really shows that you put effort into your craft, keep on producing friend.
please don't feel the need to take town videos that didn't preform well, YT is a fickle place and the algorithm can push your content weeks (heck even months to years) after the fact, it also portraits a falseness of the small channel grind, which most often discourages others that want want to follow learn and model their channels after yours, and when their numbers don't follow yours they quit, its ok to say you had a swing and a miss, that kind of acceptance is what makes good from great, Goodluck on your future G4IJIN, you'll go far !
I appreciate that a lot! But yeah I just set a couple videos to private not because they didn’t do well, but because I’m still learning what kind of content I want to make for this channel, and I want to provide a consistent kind of value on it.
@@G4IJIN_VRunderstandable but as someone that has been on YT for over 10 years it is really nice to come back to really old videos and see the progress of different YTers
RUclips really has a way of recommending me things haha. This was an excellent video! Funny enough, the $20k decision you call this, we called the $20k retake 🤣I think at this point, the pressure was building up on both teams. REKT are very clean when it comes to their plays, and they are a team that makes few mistakes if any. Both teams were capitalizing on each others slight mistakes, and during that retake, every engagement to my memory was a 1v1, and the fact that we won it was the real momentum shift to bring us to 11-9. Thank you again for the video! This was awesome to see and I hope it gets shared around more!
Yoooo! Thank you so much! I’m trying to make videos that get people interested in Vail and VR because I want to see both succeed. Congrats on cementing your place in VR esports history!
Oh my goodness it was so much fun to watch! I’m sure your future matches will be nuts, especially as everyone gets more time in Vail and the pro scene develops more.
Even though I've gotten way better at content creation over the last year, this video is one of my faves because it has more views than aexlab's own doc that they had made for the event.
Ahhh! Thank you so much! You went nuts on Suna. And there were a few plays of yours in your other match that I’m so upset the observers didn’t get from your POV
Chillst3p is a God at VR shooters. He used to ask me to play against him in DM and TDM before his pro matches to warm up his accuracy. We both have split second headshot capability and would trade headshot kills frequently. It's nice to see him on the big stage. He's a better strategy player (SND) than me, no doubt. I'm just honored to be recognized by him as being a worthy opponent to go up against in DM and TDM.
I think the devlopers should look into increasing the fov when spectacting players on flat screen, or maybe just for tournaments. On flat screen the lower fov makes it a little difficult to follow whats happening.
It does! But tbh having a flat spectator FOV close to the player FOV makes small details hard to see. I have some reels that don’t look great because I have to zoom in so far to see details that are easy to spot in a flatscreen game. It’s a hard balance.
I’m excited for the future of VR games. It’s hard for me to go back to regular gaming u less the story is absolutely amazing like Baldurs Gate 3, Persona, Yakuza, etc.. I do airsoft tournaments so I need that real life experience
SteamDB is the only way to see player numbers for now. Once the game launches on PSVR2 and Quest 2/3 it will be harder to find. This has been the only tournament, I don’t remember how many were watching at the time, but Vail’s pro league season 1 starts February 6.
@@G4IJIN_VR Since the release of the quest 2 it's exploded. Just wait for the Quest 3, and I think something similar could happen. We just need more affordable headsets to be released and to be marketed to the public. A lot of people still think VR is the type of thing you need to spend thousands to get into, but in reality it's ~$400.
In my opinion, the current VR is still an infant. My ideal PEAK of VR is the one that you control with just your brain (SAO, Bofuri, Overgeared, etc). I'm guessing that VR will start it's rise in competitive gaming if it was developed with a Quantum Computer (which is also being developed and perfected). It may sound nonsensical or bs but it was the only conclusion I could think of.
They’re definitely not noobs. Sumatchi has won multiple Pop1 tourneys, chillstep and tarmac have won 6 seasons of pavlov VRML iirc. There was one player using a stock at lan, and they weren’t on either of the finalist teams. What I have heard from some competitive players regarding stocks is that they trade off speed in exchange for stability, and Vail will moreso favor someone able to land shots quickly rather than pixel precise. But in a game like Onward with more mil-sim-esque elements, the opposite is true.
I use a gunstock with a 2-point sling and I used to play professionally. The problem I have with using a gunstock specifically in SND matches is when you need to throw different types of grenades. The gunstock honestly gets in the way making this harder to do accurately and more difficult to get the distance needed for your throws. During pistol rounds, most gunstock players move the gunstock to their back which isn't much of an issue for grenades and they can have their off-hand placed at their side for super fast reloads; however, I personally still use a gunstock when using pistols for added stability / accuracy when aiming with such a short barrel. Now the Pros that don't use gunstocks have found out that if they turn on virtual stock settings and place their controllers together, one in front of the other even touching controllers together, that they basically get the same effect in-game as having an actual gunstock. I still prefer using an actual gunstock, but I am not as good of a player at SND as my friend Chillst3p. Put us in a DM or TDM where there's not as much strategy and grenades going on and I can go toe-to-toe with him.
To be honest i dont see any VR Shooter as eSport Game even Vail´s Maps are not even competive design as Counter Strike or Valorant, its to much going on in terms of Art Style and not of Gameplay ASpects.
I know this is a very late reply, but the recent redesigns of their maps seem very solid. I’m excited to see how they play in a competitive environment.
these prize pools are a joke. What is the issue here? even 1 major VC fund can help with bigger pools. Hopefully as global economy recovers from the quantitative tightening of today in the next 2-3 years we will have money being poured into experimental and innovative landscapes again
I think it’ll be more in season 1, imo this tournament was held to show the potential of the game before it had an audience. While I wish top teams could be more rewarded for their skill, it doesn’t really make sense to give $100K or so to a team only a few hundred people are watching play.
Another congrats to Vortex for winning the first Vail major!
gaijin.. i know you... you literally follow every game its hilariousss
i played with you in vail
From a competitive CSGO viewer this is actually super fun to watch
I also came from CS, and this game’s similarities are what drew me to it. Pro league season 1 for Vail starts in January, hope to see you in chat :)

@@G4IJIN_VR Thank you my friend, Im still over the moon about it. Glad to be helping VR esports grow as a whole! Keep it up :D
Great analysis! This was such a wild event, can't wait for the next one. I'm sure this isn't the last time we face rekt at lan.
Oh my goodness it was so much fun to watch! I’m sure your future matches will be nuts, especially as everyone gets more time in Vail and the pro scene develops more.
the recap is incredibly well done! thank you
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!

Thank you so much!
Someday, once VR are affordable for everyone, VR esports future would have been more interesting to invested on
That’s why I’m investing now 👀
@@G4IJIN_VR can't wait to see some big esports ORG to open their division into VR scene
@@pko_2.0_pop7 SAME. I know Faze was talking with Aexlab last year though.
Just wait for breachers
Also a great game! Looking forward to where the esports scene goes.
Incredible 👏 we will be back 😉
YESSSSS
A cinematic masterpiece?
Even though I've gotten way better at content creation over the last year, this video is one of my faves because it has more views than aexlab's own doc that they had made for the event.
Amazing video, this kept me at my toes even tho I was at the event!
Ahhh! Thank you so much! You went nuts on Suna. And there were a few plays of yours in your other match that I’m so upset the observers didn’t get from your POV
@@G4IJIN_VR Thanks and haha Sometimes I wanna murder (as a joke😨) those observers sometimes haha
watched the event live.
the finals had me hyped.

I’ve had the chance to play against him in Vail TDM and he’s super skilled. I would really like to see him come back to the scene.
More exciting then the actual stream lmao
Thank you!
Nice video man
Thank you!
Awesome Video!
Thank you!
This really was so good you would think it was scripted match but thats just how crazy good these teams are and how close their matches come
For real! I really hope Vail’s esports scene thrives and we get a proper Vortex/Rekt rivalry

They definitely earned that W. Such a great match.
Noice teabagging in vr ahaha 1:14

I do airsoft tournaments so I need that real life experience
Yeah I think we’ll look back on this era of vr like we do laser disks and tube TVs 😂
Wait what there was a esports thing for this? Im really good at avail, i need to look into this 3 weeks ago wth
Yep! Season 1 of the pro league starts in January!
is there a way to see how many people play this game and / or ho wmany people watch these kind of tournaments?

Nice vid
Thank you!
What headset were they using
Valve index but with a special attachment on the front that lights up or turns off based on if they were alive or dead in game
Ughhhh when will vr be the norm?
I think we’re at most 2 years out from a real mainstream explosion of VR in gaming, and 5 years out from mainstream AR/VR for normies.

What is the name of the game
Guys just use gunstocks, this is just like noobs playing.

Not the biggest VR comp to date, Onward Vr Lan event peaked at $60k
My bad, I was new to VR when I made this video.
Reminds me of the very first days of cs pro play cant wait for this to become big in 6 or so years
Me too! I watched the first CSGO major and this feels similar. I really think in a year a lot of people are going to be talking about Vail.

Ja auch Video Games können schon mal schwuchtelig und peinlich sein.
