Comment from Yuya Tegoshi
My name is Yuya Tegoshi!
I'm really happy to have been asked to talk about a title that's been popular lately!
As someone who loves games, it's great to be asked to be a guest!
The rules and recoil, etc. are different from the FPS games I usually play, so I'm going to do my best to make the best of the game while learning as I go!
Comment from Moe Iori
VALORANT is a game that has many wonderful aspects, such as fairness, precision, and design, that make me think that eSports is a cool thing.
I have been looking forward to playing this game since the beta, and I am very happy to be able to work on it.
Basically, I only play in the wild, so I'm looking forward to learning about teamwork strategies and cheering for the players in this tournament.
