What ameneties are you able to use during service? Since you are using internet are you currently not deployed on the battleground or sum?
(I don't know about military at all, especially outside that of my country lol)

Thx. Everyone is assigned differently. You go thro Basic military training first which is arnd 2months.
You can go home everyday or only weekends depending on ur unit. Typically every1 use inet after camp or off-duty.

Nah
LeviaT [#16]He can’t defer his military service but I don’t see why he can’t compete while doing his university studies… 23/24 is still an average age in pro play.
because playing professionally and studying for university are both full time activities, so you only pick one unless you want to work 16h/day and burn out in 2 weeks

at 26 he would've himself given up on the dream of competing. if he wants to be a pro, he has to comeback after military service or no shot

so basically a job (army job), live like a normal person, not an isolated camp, where you can only talk to family once every week or month

if he wants to do uni after military, when he knows he is top 10 player, then you should realize valorant is not his goal

I agree 👍

Well, there's part time degrees but I guess its probably not what he's after. Wishing him best of luck for the remainder of Champions and his future.

Did he specifically say he'd stop competing after National service because of university? I did remember him mentioning about uni in one of his streams but everyone here seems to imply that this is the end of his competitive career. I'd respect his decision regardless but I hope people are not just making assumptions here lol
