List of references I missed. Will continue to update based on the info that comes out or things you guys find 00:18 Use .25 speed and you will see in the beginning four player behind the riot games logo. In the order they appear -> Boaster (emea), Kang kang (china), Demon1 (Americas), and either something or forsaken (Apac) 2:33 kang kang 4k on haven that appears at the background of him dancing kzitem.info/news/bejne/qYuEwH5mpoCnl6A 02:33 Could also be a reference to kang kang rapping at master tokyo kzitem.info/news/bejne/pouG34J7oXRyjG0 02:22 Meant to spell nAts instead of NatZ. still not 100% sure if its him though 07:45 They're not actually blood cousins (my bad she got me good lol) 8:23 the people around the thorns are could be Cryo (or pANcada) , Boaster , Forsaken and Smoggy. Each representing one of the four regions in vct.

Valorant is such a fast-changing game. Boaster’s 4K with the OP at 8:44 is from a VCT match, but from today’s standards, it looks like a T2 or T3 game. The speed at which this game evolves is crazy
@NightzSona
Ай бұрын
This very much clears things up a guess I have at 8:23 is that all the people that are shown with the spikes are kinda the faces of each region with the first person repping apac being like Jinggg or forsaken again then boaster then the third person being possibly Tenz again??? Then smoggy. Idk tho it’s a wild theory/ guess I have.
@Wallflow3r
Ай бұрын
I have a feeling its Cryo , Boaster , Forsaken and Smoggy . Forsaken you can tell cause its the same clothes as the neon shot if you see the jacket. So that means the first guy has to be from Americas who wears one earring . I think it could be cryo cause they show his clip but the earring is throwing me off . Could be some Latam or Brazil player then?
