Yap fest incoming, but important to remember.
TL;DR: be a normal person, criticize a player’s performance constructively, don’t be disrespectful.
People out here talking mad about a player’s personal life and circumstances, but then continue talking mad. This heinous cycle continues because y’all never learn or know when to stop. You can criticize a player without bringing up their personal circumstances.
The shit that’s been going on about Boaster is appalling. I will admit it: he didn’t play that well. He definitely could have performed better, but he does have his moments. However, to call him a fraud, a paycheque stealer, or anything derogatory is disrespectful.
As such, remember these are real people. They aren’t just pixels on a screen. Words have impact. This doesn’t just go for Boaster, but also yay, Demon1, and whoever else; and not just Valorant, but for other esports, like the Hans Sama death threats.
Obviously, we can’t change it immediately but every bit counts.
Teams win and lose. Such is the reality of sports. But these players keep going. Let them keep going.
