Carlos Correa of the Minnesota Twins put it this way: "Booing and criticism are naturally accepted. This is also a part of baseball. Fans want players to perform well, and they want their favorite team to win. It's natural to be booed if you don't perform well."
I think VALORANT professionals are lacking the kind of spirit that would enable them to accept criticism like him.
Difference is those guys get paid in generational wealth and some of the valorant pros we shit on or are toxic to are making close to the median US income... Some of them have spent their whole life dedicated to this game and aren't financially secure, and they could quite literally lose their jobs because of public sentiment and narratives as we've seen recently.
Bet it's a lot easier to drown out boos in a mansion, knowing you or even your grandkids don't have to go work at doordash if you don't get another contract 🤷🏽♂️
And even then some tier 1 athletes can't ignore the boos, look at Kevin Durant, he responds to trolls on Twitter like he's some average VLR user
