I can't understand the "pros can't survive a real job" take. Like these mf are playing valorant consistently over 8 hrs a day, which is longer than the average job (Around 7 hrs). It may not be as physically demanding as some jobs but when you think about the effort, the grind to be the most decorated valorant player, climbing the ranks, aim training ect - most pros have been playing fps since childhood. It's a long time.

optic didnt fall off their team was sold as they didnt make franchising
Gambit was like dodgy as the russian war w ukraine meant as russian org they were blocked from playing for a long time + lost to liquid in lcq for champs 2022
ascend yeah they fell
deffo was acc good imo
rest i agree w tbf

2020 sentinels - > 2021 sen
Gambit (kinda)
Zeta they arent bad but like compared with their peak its disappointing
same for DRX (maybe too soon?) and the guard
