love
Words cannot express how much I love Felipe "Less" Basso. I fall asleep dreaming about him and wake up thinking about him. All day everything I see is Felipe, this beautiful brazilian man has overtaken what little brain power I have left. I have been fired from my job because I just look at Less clips all day. I am going to be homeless soon, and I wouldn't change a single thing if I had the chance. I love Less.
Once upon a time in a town where the sun shone just a bit too bright, there lived a gamer named Alex. Alex was your typical video game enthusiast, spending most of their time in the virtual realm, but there was one thing that set them apart from the rest: an obsession with a certain Valorant streamer known as Aspas.
It all began one fateful afternoon. Alex was mindlessly scrolling through Twitch when they stumbled upon Aspas's channel. The moment they tuned in, they were greeted by a dazzling display of skill, a barrage of hilarious commentary, and—most importantly—a refreshing absence of any serious attitude. Aspas was a gaming wizard who could pull off insane plays while making viewers laugh until their sides hurt.
From that day forward, Alex became an Aspas superfan. They would clear their schedule for every stream, even going so far as to cancel plans with friends. “Sorry, I can’t hang out tonight; Aspas is dropping some serious 1v5s!” Their friends started to suspect they might be in a committed relationship—with a gamer on the internet.
One night, Alex decided it was time to take their love for Aspas to the next level. They devised a plan to join a Valorant match while streaming. “If I can get Aspas to notice me, maybe we can team up!” they thought, with heart racing excitement.
The day of reckoning arrived. Alex logged into the game, their heart pounding faster than the bullets they fired. In the matchmaking lobby, they saw the name "Aspas" appear! Could it be? Was this the real Aspas? Or just a cheeky impersonator? Either way, Alex’s excitement was palpable.
They entered the match, and it quickly became evident that Aspas was indeed the real deal. As soon as the match began, Aspas started dominating the enemy team with sick plays and killer commentary. Meanwhile, Alex was trying to keep it together, both starstruck and nervous.
“Hey, Aspas! Big fan!” Alex typed in chat, their fingers trembling over the keyboard.
To their surprise, Aspas replied with a cheeky grin: “Thanks! Don’t worry, I’ll carry you!” Alex could hardly believe it. They were officially conversing with their gaming idol!
As the match progressed, Alex realized they were not prepared for the high stakes of playing alongside a pro. They started panicking every time they saw an enemy. Instead of aiming, they were just trying to impress Aspas with their poorly executed strategies.
“Guys, I’m going to flash!” Alex declared, only to throw a flashbang right at their own feet. “Oops! Sorry, Aspas!” They could hear the laughter echo through the headset.
“Nice flash, buddy! We’re all blind now!” Aspas quipped, and the whole team erupted in laughter. Alex felt a mix of embarrassment and joy. Aspas was just as funny in-game as he was during his streams.
In the final round, the pressure was on. Alex somehow found themselves in a 1v1 against the last enemy player, while Aspas was busy juggling his teammates and keeping spirits high. They could hear Aspas cheering them on.
“Just remember, aim for the head!” he encouraged.
Alex’s palms were sweating, and they managed to catch sight of the enemy. With adrenaline pumping, they took a wild shot, completely missing. “Oh no!” Alex shouted, feeling the weight of failure. The enemy returned fire, and Alex’s character went down in a flurry of pixels.
“Hey, no worries! You did great!” Aspas reassured, and in that moment, Alex realized that it wasn’t about winning or losing; it was about the fun they had. They laughed along with Aspas and the team, forgetting the earlier mishaps.
After the match, Alex was on cloud nine. Aspas had not only acknowledged their existence but had also made them feel like part of the team. They tweeted about it, creating a post titled “How I fell in love with Aspas while completely failing in Valorant.” The tweet went viral, with thousands of gamers relating to the experience of being utterly starstruck and hilariously terrible.
From that day on, Alex embraced their role as the “Aspas Fan Club President,” organizing viewing parties for Aspas’s streams and sharing hilarious clips of their match together. They even created a collection of memes titled “Aspas Plays Valorant: The Alex Chronicles,” which featured their infamous flashbang moment.
And while Alex might not have been the best player in Valorant, they certainly became the most enthusiastic fan, proving that sometimes, it’s not about how well you play; it’s about how much fun you have—and how much you love that one gamer who makes it all worthwhile.
