val reporting is AWFUL

it's unreal to me that until recently the biggest name in valorant journalism was an insufferable, creepy twat with a napoleon complex

i can count on literally one hand the people in the scene that just diligently do their job without injecting their awful, loser fucking personalities into the mix

these glorified groupies that just mingle with their own tiny circles for droplets of information praying for some form of niche-microcelebrity status are arguably the worst part. you guys are nobody, do your job, these public masturbatory gestures about how cool and mysterious your information is comes off as incredible cringe

this is esports journalism. you should not be surprised

i'd rather have george geddes back over these guys and that's saying something 🥶

anonimotum is an example

Next to no money in the space.
No shit there is a lack of "professionalism" because its near impossible to turn this into a professional career.

I understand why people are annoyed by shit posting and teasing but unless esports can grow to a point where there are more opportunities in reporting it will sadly stay.

we're stuck with them. it's a monopoly.

i really dont get why so many people want to know about leaks/rosters so badly.. just wait for the announcements when they happen. literally most pros are farming impressions on twitter and we have to deal with these loser journalists because of this pathetic behavior of the fans of the game.. if people stop feeding these journalists, they wouldnt act the way they do

yeah anon is goated same with purest but thats it, everyone else just baits on twitter

purest has always been the goat. he even took help from george in his early stages.

pushes up glasses "heh i know every single roster move. Give this tweet 10 thousand likes and I'll leak something"

do your job you fucking loser holy shit what is modern "journalism"

I enjoy all of them, so what I'm seeing is that people enjoy it when they just post 100% done deal moves and report on it rather than joke around about leaks and trials baiting people

someone said you’re unironically a teenager so i feel nothing towards you tbh. go crazy, everyone does stupid shit at that age it’s not serious

this is more about the actual grown ass men that are spending their time farming pseudoclout online instead of providing value to anyone. pretty embarrassing imo
