In Valorant Top player Mixwell is one of the best pro gamers in Europe. That’s why he has also won three major tournaments. However, toxic viewers did not want to acknowledge his victories and criticized the tournaments as irrelevant. Mixwell was not willing to accept this anymore.
Who is this about? Oscar “Mixwell” Cañella Colocho is a Spanish pro gamer and former Counter-Strike professional. He switched to Valorant and was signed by the major eSports organization G2 for their Valorant team.
This decision seems to have paid off, as Mixwell has already won three major tournaments:
- 1st place at the Twitch Rivals Valorant Europe Showdown
- 1st place at the Ignition Series G2 eSports Invitational
- 1st place at the Ignition Series Vitality EU Open
These three victories have brought G2 to the top of the eSports teams. However, not everyone seems to want Mixwell to succeed.
Trolls lament: “That wasn’t a challenge at all!”
What was criticized? Some comments on Mixwell’s successes are not particularly flattering. The pro is accused of having only played against inexperienced jokers in the tournaments. That would be no achievement.
It is said that his victory at the Twitch Rivals Valorant Europe Showdown is worthless because only influencers with no real skill participated. And in the Ignition Series G2 eSports Invitational, no decent eSports teams participated except for Mixwell’s team. Again, the victory was not a big deal.
This is how Mixwell responds: Mixwell, in turn, seems to be offended by such remarks. After his victory in the Ignition Series Vitality EU Open, he sarcastically tweeted:
I won Twitch Rivals and people said that I won because it was full of influencers. I won the Ignition Series G2 Esports Invitational and people said there were no real teams at the event. I won the Ignition Series Vitality EU Open and I no longer see you, where are you?
After his third major victory, the negative comments have decreased, and Mixwell and his team are now rubbing it in the trolls’ faces. G2 tweeted smugly:
“We can’t hear the haters from up here anymore.”
This is how the community reacts: Many of Mixwell’s followers appreciate his statement and support him. He is a good player, and just because the competition may not be on point, his victory still counts. Others, however, were a bit more critical:
- Sombre&Islamique: “Stay humble, we haven’t seen you win any events in CS:GO” [Which is not true, he did win events in CS:GO]
- neL: “I don’t think anyone doubted you too much. Twitch Rivals & G2-Ignition were a joke. So people complained? I don’t think it was about you. The Vitality Ignition is legit. So why would people complain? Just GG. (But you are also the only professional team, you did what people expected).
In response, Mixwell mentioned that he knows who didn’t want him to win. But he now believes that most people are actually nice. By the way, there are also curious reports about Mixwell. Shortly after his first game, he was kicked out of the game by the anti-cheat program Vanguard, because he wanted to charge his phone on the PC.
