I'm new to vlr but not valorant. I'm a fan or NRG but I don't hate other NA teams. After taking a few peeks at forums throughout stage 1, it seemed like people shit on NRG for weird ass reasons. To be honest I think people just shit on all teams for dumbass reasons but it seems everyone collectively hates NRG for some reason. I'm just trying to see where the hate is coming from. Is there like a valid reason or is it just to hate? I'm guessing it might be some of the players on NRG might be "toxic" but I don't understand that either. I know Demon1 gets a lot of hate for shooting bodies, taunting and saying things but I always thought that was like an act or for entertainment and players don't take it to heart. I know crashies and victor sometimes might say toxic things too but again I thought it was all for hyping themselves and their teammates up/ entertainment. Again I'm pretty sure multiple players outside of just NRG do this too and they get their own shit for it but I don't understand. I can kinda see why people may not like Chet and in my humble opinion I think that he definitely needs to change up his game plan or be replaced but its weird to see people hating on the players for weird ass reasons. I'm not gona lie either, I'm a Demon1 fan but that doesn't mean I dick ride him till the ends of the earth. I just want to know where the hate comes from and why people add unnecessary hardship to players of all teams. I'm pretty sure most people are normal people who root for their team and stay quiet, but I happened to come to vlr by chance and I saw this hell hole of a forum.
Why do people hate NRG?
people who hate on any team are just domb its pixels, but if i had to guess why nrg gets so much slack i could only think of 2 reasons. 1. They are SUPPOSED to win according to all pros/dormant pros and content creators this team was made to DOMINATE Americas and when youre expectations are that high when you lose to another team the fans of that team think they are king slayers so shit talk a lot. Secondly, its because a lot of NRG players like to be "villain's", if you look at NRG radiance you can see that victor and crashies say they enjoy being the villain's it makes them play better, demon1 well his name has demon in it and marved is very confident in himself (deserves to be).
- overhyped by bandwagon fans all because their roster is 5 international winning players
- content by NRG is pretty cringe, 1/5 vids are worth watching
- a lot of NRG baiters on VLR exist to intentionally make people hate NRG (asuna_yuuki)
- cockiness from a lot of the players with nothing to back it up
- people hate for the sake of hating
Some people hate NRG because they’re sponsored by the MILITARY. Guess some people in parts of the world have been effected personally by it.
