Cyriac Asotriani (born January 1, 1994), better known as Sagacité, is a Tengarian professional Avatar player for S5 Gaming. He is best known for his role as an original member and now team leader of successful S5 gaming, a team with consistent success at the global level for Avatar. He is considered one of the premier Avatar players in the world and he is notable for holding the record of World Championship appearances, currently at his 9th appearance, as well as the record number of WEAL Championships, at 6. He also was the team leader for S5's victory at the 2022 Avatar World Championship.
One of the first players in Western Euclea to get into Avatar, he first began to enter the competitive scene when he studied at the University of Lenovo, and was one of the original key players in the growing West Euclea market. There the University team became the first representatives of the West Euclea region at the very first Avatar World Championship in 2013. Do to his talent, he began playing professionally following his degree, becoming a member of the Tengarian team Nebe for the 2015 season. In 2016, he was signed by the new S5 Gaming, which took best talent from across the entirety of the Samorspi. Although talented, he did not play a leadership role on the team until the 2021 season, but consistently performed strongly, helping the team to reach second place in 2018. In 2022, he participated in the 2022 Summer Invictus Games playing for Tengaria, while also leading S5 to its first ever World Championship in the same year.
Due to the longevity of his career, he earned several milestones, being the first player to play 100 Avatar World Championship matches in 2020, and the first player to win 50 matches in the same year. He currently holds the record for most matches played at the World Championships, with a record 141, as well as the highest total number of kills. In the WEAL, he became the first person to surpass 300 matches, as well as the first person to win over 200 matches.
Outside of the sport, he has a notable interest in the discussion and study of philosophy, as well as for his engagement with fans as well as the sport as a whole.
Early Life
Cyriac was born in the town of Vesti, Tengaria, on January 1st, 1994. His father, Vasile, was a lawyer, while his mother Zora stayed in the house. Cyriac was a well-performing student, who enjoyed to read. Philosophy became his favourite area of study, although he enjoyed the majority of his subjects. His success in his studies earned him a place at the University of Lenovo, considered the top school in the country, where he planned to study and become a philsopher. He began attending college in 2011, with the intention of pursuing an eventual doctorate in philosophy.
In his free time, Cyriac played video games, almost entirely on a computer, as he has said that he never owned a console. He was one of the first who began playing Avatar outside of Dezevau in the middle two-thousands when he was in his early teens. He found he had a knack for the game, and continued playing as it soon began to explode in popularity. He initially went under the username "Șienta", which he would use until 2013. He participated and won at several localised events in Tengaria, but believed that he could not make a career out of it at the time, continuing to pursue it more as a hobby.
