Hi guys,
I'm an NA fan who doesn't use this platform much, and I only have one post to my name. I've been a 3 year fan of Sentinels since the end of their run at Iceland, but that isn't particularly important. I come with a pretty simple message for the Loud fans out there on VLR:
There's a difference between dedication and obnoxiousness.
I think a lot of you guys are aware of just how toxic the Loud fanbase is, and I can already imagine the screams of "Its just culture!" "Its just how we are!" but this type of attitude was already unacceptable, and it became even more apparent when Lock In was hosted in Sao Paulo. All the old discussions of how FNATIC wasn't clapped for, nobody stayed for their trophy lift, and how it was mostly just a disrespectful environment are still relevant. I'm sure at this point you're all wondering why I'm bringing this up now, but that's because watching the VCT Americas Finals and also a lot of the Loud games, the Loud fans in the arena make me literally pray for Loud to not win rounds. Just how downright obnoxious and annoying the chants are just makes it miserable to watch when all I want to do is enjoy some Valorant while eating dinner. It's so repetitive, and even when Loud loses a round and all the opposing fans start cheering, Loud fans start trying to I guess chant over that, which to me at least just looks really disrespectful. Look around, everyone else in the arena is silently watching until something happens, meanwhile we can't even hear the casters because "LOUDE, LOUDE, LOUDE" and its just ridiculous. EVEN IF it was just that, there's no reason for me to say something about it. But when it gets to the point of me watching the clips of Zellsis telling his stream about all the death threats he recieved, its wrong. Nobody should have to deal with the immaturity of these fans, and its so downright disrespectful, its no wonder CS:GO practically refuses to host events in Brazil. I know it won't ever happen, but please, if you're a Loud fan doing this, consider some integrity. Nobody should be recieving death threats, and the obnoxiousness that is showcased by the Loud fans is only gonna contribute to people like me who now just don't want Loud to win anything at all, just so the fans will shut up. I know its not most of you, but please, consider some respect.
