A landmark season for a rising VALORANT star fell just short of the perfect ending, with Ilya “something” Petrov and the rest of Paper Rex losing in the grand finals of VALORANT Champions 2023 to Evil Geniuses. But with some major meta changes on the way, the best duelist and reigning MVP of the VCT Pacific league is already looking at a new role to take on.
Something shared similar sentiments as other Jett-utilizing players regarding the upcoming agent balance changes in patch 7.04 in a chat with Dot Esports following Paper Rex’s loss to EG. With Jett set to receive some significant nerfs, something is already looking at alternatives, and isn’t limiting himself to just duelists.
