Well, let me tell you somethin’ about this here Valorant thing, and this team, what’s their name? Heretics? Yeah, that’s it, Heretics. Sounds kinda devilish, don’t it? But I heard they’re good, real good at this shootin’ game. They play that Valorant game, shootin’ and plantin’ bombs, all that stuff. I don’t understand it much, but my grandson, he’s glued to the screen when they’re playin’.
They say these Heretics, they weren’t always so good. Last year, 2023 they call it, they weren’t nothin’ special. Just regular folks, I reckon. But then somethin’ happened. They got better, much better. Like when you add a heap of manure to your tomatoes, they just bloomed! They started winnin’ and winnin’.
This year, 2024, in a place called Seoul. My grandson says it’s far away, ‘cross the ocean. They have this big Valorant tournament there, the Champions they call it. And these Heretics, they were there, playin’ against other teams. One day, I heard my grandson yellin’ and hollerin’, somethin’ about Day 5. This Heretics team, they were playin’ against another team, Gen.G, that’s what he said. Big team from some place called Pacific.
He was jumpin’ up and down, sayin’ Heretics was winnin’. They were beatin’ that Gen.G team real good. From the get-go, he said. They was ahead from the start, like a rabbit outrunnin’ a turtle. They were just too good. Just like when I bake my apple pie, ain’t nobody can beat it!
Now, this Valorant thing, it’s got all sorts of things goin’ on. They got these characters, each one different. Like pickin’ your best chicken for the fair. This Heretics team, they know how to pick ’em. And they know how to use ’em too. Smart bunch, I reckon, even if they are a bit young. I saw it one time, they were playing against G2, another team my grandson watches.
I heard they changed things up to beat that G2 team. Changed their players around, like shiftin’ your crops in the field. They went back and forth, he said, like two stubborn mules pullin’ a cart. But in the end, these Heretics, they won. 14-12, that’s what my grandson told me. Close one, but a win’s a win, just like findin’ a dollar in your old jeans pocket.
They say this Heretics team, they’re from Spain. That’s another place far away. They got a YouTuber, somethin’ called Goorgo, who started it all. Sounds like a fancy name, don’t it? But they’re just regular folks, playin’ this Valorant game. They’re ranked number 8, they say. That’s pretty high, like the top of the corn stalk in my garden. They won a lot lately, 6 out of 10, my grandson said. That’s better than my hens layin’ eggs!
- They’re good at Valorant.
- They won a lot of games.
- They’re from Spain.
- They’re ranked number 8.
- They beat a team called Gen.G.
This Valorant stuff, it’s a big deal, I guess. These young folks, they get all excited about it. And these Heretics, they’re makin’ a name for themselves. Like a prize-winnin’ pig at the county fair, everyone’s talkin’ about ’em. Good for them, I say. They’re workin’ hard, playin’ that game, and they’re winnin’. That’s somethin’ to be proud of, even if I don’t understand all the shootin’ and bomb plantin’.
Now, I heard someone talkin’ to their coach, some fella named Neilzinho. And one of the players, called Boo. Sounds like a ghost, don’t it? But he’s a good player, I reckon. They were talkin’ about how they won, and how they’re gonna keep winnin’. Just like I tell my grandson, you gotta keep workin’ hard if you wanna get ahead. These Heretics, they seem to understand that.
So, yeah, this Heretics team, they’re somethin’ else in this Valorant world. They’re like a storm brewin’ on the horizon, you can see it comin’ and you know it’s gonna be a big one. They’re gonna keep playin’, and they’re gonna keep winnin’, I reckon. And my grandson, he’ll be right there watchin’ ’em, hootin’ and hollerin’ the whole time. Just like I used to do when my favorite team was playin’ baseball, only this is Valorant, and it’s a whole different ball game, as they say.
These Valorant players sure are somethin’. Reminds me of my rooster, always fightin’ and crowin’. These Heretics boys they got that fight in ’em too, I reckon. Just like that rooster, they ain’t backin’ down from no one.
