What Got You Into Competitive Valorant?

#1

JustEnjoying

For me, it was the FaZe invitational and the rivalry between Sen and TSM. Regardless of what TSM was and what was SEN blooming into those were some great matches between these two teams.
How about you guys?

I watched since the beginning so around the time Twitch Rivals for Valorant or even slightly before that. Watching Wardell and Drone helped me improve at the game and at the time, they were the best this game could offer in terms of how to play a duelist.

I was following this channel https://www.youtube.com/c/TheCenterRing/videos and they were hyping Reyjovik a lot and because NA was dominating so I had no choice but tune in to some valorant pro matches

Hes a snake... I thought he was like the best CS player but then I found out he had T2 sucess at best... anyways c9 was gonna rebuild the team obviously but he didn't wanna play until LAN came back but then when SEN offered mf sucked up to them in an instance... he's like a KD

c9 were happy to let him go, sen were happy to have him. always the tsm fan malding, projecting their teams irrelevance KEKW.

I can understand that to an extent.

Watching your favorite player become a streamer because of his lackluster situation with his team, but jumping when the opportunity arises.

It's not his fault that he jumped at the offer since anyone would. But from a fan's perspective, I can certainly empathize with that.

I'm on the c9 discord and they all kinda hate him for it. I personally don't care and still enjoy watch tenz play, but there are a lot of c9 fans who don't like tenz for what he did.

I get their point of view but why would the best player in the world wanna play on a team that he cannot place and then he went to go play for the #1 team and I think anyone would take that opportunity.

I started Watching this game due to Shroud and started taking interest in comp. during SEN vs TSM era. I hope TSM comes back strong so that we can see it again. I know TSM will get stomped but that would be fun to watch both teams play against each other.

I started watching Ignition series and was invested in the TSM SEN rivalry and didn't like C9 and 100T. Then I started watching Platchat shortly after. And I heard abt Fish123 and also saw like Bonk somewhere there as well and then I started watching those teams. I still love Guild and then I heard abt FPX and they are prob my fav team but Guild is a close second with BDS in third. I also started watching VS after it was mentioned in Platchat and I also learned about Japanese Valorant because I just like was up late and saw that Valorant JP was online or smth. So I watched and I liked it. Those are the 3 regions I really only watch. Except for CIS and TR for GAMBIT and OXG/SMB sometimes. And maybe for Furia in BR. But other than that. Platchat is my main reason why I started watching more.

I saw a old C9 valorant video on my reccomended and some 100T valorant vids, then I started watching some tourneys. Then I saw the old Victor and Crashies duo on stream and the rest was history. Sadge that crashies doesn't stream anymore.

Decent Lithuanian player representation in the pro scene. Just hoping that it's not nukkye who is gonna be the only one remaining as teams with other lithuanian players can't seem to get through european qualifier stages. + CS:GO became boring to follow after witnessing the same stale scene for more than 5 years already tbh

I know that wanting to be a cool kid has to do with you guys roasting tsm and their fans. I know it gets you a lot of attention and shit. But you know, TSM has nothing to do with this lol
