That is not at all how Valorant works, the game isn’t set around a “star young player” it’s a team game. Any time you lose a huge member of the t1 scene it hurts. If you only focus your attention on the “star” players then you don’t understand how teams work. Takes a lot more than just 1 guy.
Nitr0 was the highest paid player in the game at one point, he was definitely someone with a huge following and importance in the scene regardless of him not being a “young star player.” Lol
Sorry but you really can’t be basing Twitter and twitch followers on determining if someone is important or not. Of course Sentinels will have a lot of followers, especially TenZ. They have the biggest following in Valorant and in NA. They have a fanbase of majority kids especially TenZ. I get they have a big following but a big following doesn’t always mean importance.
A ridiculous amount of people in this thread clearly have never watched Nitr0 play a single game of valorant. He was clearly one of the best controllers in NA and his game sense was one of the best in the game. You can’t find that in young players because they don’t have the experience. Every now and then you get a young player who has that talent. But losing Nitr0 is no small thing. Of course because valorant is so young it will recover somewhat quickly but for rising controller players Nitr0 was an incredible example that can’t just be replaced.
