[@PsykeShow]

@@NojoNinja The difference with Fortnite scrims and CSGO/Valorant scrims is the tactics. There's alot of different strategies going into this, where to place it, play it by playstyle within the team etc. In Fortnite, there's an open map so strategy isn't the same, mechanics are more important than the team against team strategy - Because none of the games are essentially the same. In this game, utilizing the map as strategically as possible while working against the enemy teams strat is key. Also, map is the same every time, no random weapon drops or based of RNG.

Shroud man, you're putting out the best Valorant content HANDS DOWN! It's Nice to see some Devs that know how to play their own game! Thanks for the amount of coverage your putting out, we'll all have a head start when we get our hands on a copy! EDIT: Thank you for all the support you guys gave me on my channel! You Legends!! Keep it real!

Agent Elon I’m not saying it isn’t a nice message but its still self-promotion. Look at the first reply, and look at his edit. He’s even took out the line about him uploading valorant content so it doesn’t look like self-promotion 😂.

That's the difference between balancing a game around the comp scene and balancing a game around the pub scene.

[@Bruno2ndKOP]

There's only a few people in the streaming community or in pro play who has the same mindset as Shroud. He took this loss to the devs as a learning curve instead of bitching about what they were doing wrong or what the devs should change/nerf. I always complain when I die in a game when I could just look at the bright side like what I should have done differently. I like his chill mentality.

“There’s only a few people who learn from playing the game” this makes 0 sense and if you think most of the gaming community is stupid. Who the fuck wouldnt take a new experience like this as a learning curve? It’s obvious what there is to take away from ANY loss or win.
