Out of all the VALORANT agents in regular rotation at VCT Masters Tokyo, one of the most unexpected comes from a substitute player helping his team reach the top three. Patiphan “CGRS” Posri was called up on late notice and he brought in his Gekko-main ways to help challenge the best—and in many cases succeeded.
After losing star duelist and regional finals MVP Ilya “something” Petrov due to visa and travel issues, CGRS filled into the initiator role despite his role as a content creator for Paper Rex. He was the sixth man in case of issues like this, but the coaching staff molded him into a Gekko main after the agent’s release, just in case he became the meta. Expectations weren’t high for the squad, but CGRS and Paper Rex surprised everyone with a deep run in Tokyo, making Gekko work with plenty of simple combos that led to easy round wins.
