This game is too random to be considered an esport at this point.. no point investing time into any of their tournaments
The forum activity of the user "Pinkdice" on VLR.gg reveals a clear engagement with the competitive Valorant scene and a strong interest in team dynamics, especially related to specific players like Zellsis and Reduxx. Their discussions often revolve around evaluating team rosters, debating player performance, and expressing opinions about Sentinels—a prominent team in Valorant esports.
In contrast, their recent statement dismissing Valorant as "too random to be considered an esport" and claiming there's "no point investing time into any of their tournaments" contradicts this historical pattern of deep involvement. For example, they have actively debated team changes and predicted outcomes, such as whether Zellsis will stay with Sentinels or if Reduxx will take over, showing a vested interest in the competitive scene's development

Their frequent posts in team-centric discussions—like questioning strategic decisions or evaluating the impact of new player signings—indicate a level of engagement inconsistent with their claim of disinterest. Even while criticizing some aspects of the esport (e.g., Zellsis being labeled a "vibes merchant"), their comments reveal a nuanced understanding of the game's competitive landscape, further emphasizing their prior commitment

This shift from active discussion to outright dismissal may stem from frustration, potentially due to recent disappointments in competitive results or perceived issues with the game’s structure. However, the intensity and frequency of their past interactions suggest that their claim of disinterest might not fully reflect their long-standing investment in the Valorant esports scene.
