Alright, so this might sound bad, but hear me out.
I (18M) am a pro Valorant pro player, and recently, during a team discussion, my IGL (32M) FNS said something that really set me off. We were reviewing a lost match, and he called one of my plays "actual Bronze-tier decision-making." Now, I get it—it's his job to criticize, but after every match of him going -30 I just snapped.
So, mid-conversation, I stood up, walked over, and... well, I decked him. Straight to the nose. It was one clean shot—no follow-ups or anything—but apparently, I hit him hard enough to break it. Chaos ensued, staff got involved, and before I knew it, I was escorted out and—yep—arrested. I’m currently writing this from jail, waiting for my release.
Now, obviously, my career took a hit. I got dropped from the team, but I already got an offer from Shopify Rebellion Gold once I'm out, so I'm not too worried. But my ex-teammates are pissed, calling me unprofessional, unhinged, and saying I threw away a great opportunity. My coach tried to defend my actions but he was dropped too-apparently he put his career on the line for me and it didnt work out.
I get that violence isn’t the answer, but I just felt like I had to stand up for myself. So... AITA?
EDIT: Since a lot of people are asking—no, I don’t regret the punch, but yes, I regret getting caught.
