Counter-strafing is easy to learn but difficult to master. It’s also a mechanic that most players take for granted in Valorant. Here are important insights (from a Radiant) to help understand counter-strafing movement at a fundamental level (and to master it):

Carrying to Immortal is hard enough... but royalG did it Bandit-only! 👀 See how the XL2586X 600Hz helped keep every clutch moment crystal clear in his toughest ranked lobbies. 💪 Watch royalG's full video: 🔗 youtu.be/_ruY63_fCLE?si=5NA_… #ZOWIE #StriveforPerfection

Honestly, I think the Bandit is not necessarily "underpowered" for a pistol. It's just that between using a Ghost/Classic for pistol rounds and a Sheriff/Classic/Shorty on ecos, the Bandit doesn't feel good enough to replace any of the existing guns or open a new playstyle.

Passion is through the roof after this one🤣

Gonna be playing some PUBG: Blindspot today at 5 PM PST on stream with Kaemii as well as other creators from other games! Idk how a top down 5v5 tac shooter will feel like, but I'm lowkey interested in how it'll play. Come check it out! twitch.tv/royalg #Ad

Why is Valorant down 2 days in a row around this time 😭😭😭😭😭

I think I ordered too much 😅

Played Val for the first time in a month and got thrown into top 100 Radiant lobbies immediately... Give me a chance to warm up bro PLEASE😭

Back in Japan 🥸 The squad is headed to VCT Pacific, open to any collaborations! 👊

1 month progress feeling good 🙂

2 months starts today

How many games is this?😅

we were here

Holy shit is that the first time a fake Yoru clone actually worked in an international?

Always two sides to each story. It doesn't make things any less messy, but now it just looks like deeply troubled kids trying to navigate a super toxic relationship. If anything, Flor is the one trying to grow and move on, while Brick is the toxic influence holding her back.

Valorant community feels like a low trust society. Crypto betters, cheaters, stream snipers... plus the toxicity and lack of any incentive to try hard in ranked. It already sucks for the average player, but it's almost unplayable for streamers.

Not really my place to talk about T2 Valorant drama, but as someone who used to dream of going Pro (mainly in CS:GO), I can see this killing the already dwindling player-base who aspire to reach the top. What vexed me the most when I was grinding up as a player wasn't the fear that I couldn't become good enough, it was the fear that passion, hard work, and effort MIGHT NOT BE enough; that someone with low-integrity would abuse some unfair method to reach the top... or stop you from getting there. And that insecurity erodes away at your mental. In an industry that is already high risk/low reward, players grind countless hours while making little to no money, stress continuously, and run on sheer passion to only MAYBE have a shot at going Pro. It's nothing new; everyone in the scene knows this and push on despite that fact. But the last thing you would want as someone in this position is to find out the system that you place all your hopes and dreams in has been broken and corrupted. I don't know any of the details personally, but seeing all this pop up on my feed recently stirred up some deeper anxieties and fears that I used to—and still to some extent—wrestle with. I really fucking hate cheaters. And I feel sad for the T2 Pro scene.

I think my games are being crypto-betted wtf Is anyone else experiencing this?
