The storytelling is just CRAZY. The tako that they won from the claw machine (00:23) when they were kids (it shows them dropping it but the sequence ends with ONE MORE token being put in), ends up being their LAN garage padlock key (1:30) and Handfool presumably still holds on to it (2:41). The spin move that broke his ankles (00:28) ends up inspiring him to make a move in game (2:44). The shot-calling of his friend (1:01) ends up inspiring him to call his own shots (2:42). He even has the same stretch his friend has (1:34) (2:33). He pastes the 'ONE MORE' tape (2:22) as a substitute for the banner he has in his room (1:50) which originally came from the LAN garage (1:12) (3:06). All to show that even though they have all moved on with their lives, he is still representing them on the biggest stage.

[@ErasedPNG]

I'm with you. The character design along with his Gekko picks reminds me a lot of CGRS. Even though people called him a Gekko one trick and a substitute (almost last minute as well) during Masters Tokyo which made people doubt PRX, they managed to beat top teams and secured 3rd. That is insane.

I never noticed this before, starting from 1:37 where they sold their old gaming shack, you get a montage of everyone growing up into their careers. And at 1:48 it shows him struggling to make his career work. I like the contrast of his friends career success while he's stuck at home trying to make it pro. You can see his frustration while all his friends sprout new leaves. While he is still on his come up.

I don’t think that Superpower is a bad song, I just think it doesn’t fit valorant.

[@krmbzzzi]

Simply mesmerizing storytelling on full display here: A band of childhood friends from seemingly different walks of life come together and eventually discover Valorant. The game brings them closer together. The sweet taste of victory; the bitterness of defeat---the journey itself solidified their friendship as their in-game grind reflects the eventual growing up they do in life. Throughout the years, they played and enjoyed the game together, but as reality eventually catches up and gets in the way (jobs, other responsibilities, etc.), some of the crew hung up their headphones and started focusing on other things except for their one friend who is determined to climb the highest level possible and become a professional Valorant player. As time "ticks away" the protagonist player continues the grind; ONE MORE game, he says, as he inches closer to his dream...and then it happens. He becomes a pro player...but at what cost? As he climbed the stairs to the stage, he thinks back and wonders if it was all worth it. Did he reach this point all by himself? Was all those hours of gaming worth it? What about his old friends? Do they still think about him? His focus on the game prevented him from being able to spend time with them like in the old days. Do they still think about him? To his surprise, as the game is about to begin, he catches a glimpse of his old crew sitting at the front showing their full support of him---smiles beaming as they cheer for him. One more...one more...not just for me. One more for my friends...One more for the old times....One more for the future....One more, he thinks as he stretches and jumps into the game, ready to give it his all. TLDR: Not everyone will become a pro Valorant player, but that doesn't matter. It's the memories made, the grind together, the wins and losses together, and the incessant pursuit to become better in the game and in other aspects of life that matters. The journey of Valorant itself and how it brings people together is what makes this game what it is.

Sonya, Nico, Milo, Ben, Jerome- which do you think is which? The composition is great throughout. I like the touch that the flashbacks during the pro game aren’t framed like shots from a movie. They are odd angles because they are memories from his own pov.

[@hankookofthewest]

this brought tears to my eyes for some reason lmao

[@Igndraw]

I like how in the final last match, he uses a mix of the style of his old friends, the command 1:01 in 2:42, the basketball agility and turn 0:28 in 2:47, the footstep that resembles a skateboard trick 2:48, the stretch 1:34 in 2:34, he morphed together all the abilities that he gathered along the way with his friends and trained/grinded it until perfection

[@b3nz___]

These just keep getting better every year honestly. Asides from the incredible voices of Grabbitz and bbno$ and the banger beat they've made, the music video itself tells an incredible story which everyone can relate to some way. It's extremely emotionally provocative, especially where he's at the LAN and he has his friends and family cheering him on in the crowd, its a feeling that most people never get tired of, having the ones you love most be there to encourage and support you regardless of what you are doing or what point in your lives you are at, even as we grow older.

[@tsukikanogosi]

couldn't agree more

[@marzeneee]

to think that the music video can relate to most of us, because we all have different paths to walk in this world and not all of our companions will stay beside us. This tells us that we should be passionate about what we do and continue running to the goal that we promised to ourselves. I got goosebumps watching the whole video
