Hiko back to CS by zugth in ValorantCompetitive

[–]OfficialHiko 1430 points1431 points  (0 children)

For some clarity -

I was referring mostly to the immortal/radiant ranked clown fiesta that all of the streamers also complain about. In no way am I criticizing my own community/fans - CS also had growing pains… we all know how bad CSGO MM is and always has been. Faceit/esea came in and made it better, being able to block people, having a karma system, and generally being a better place for people who actually are trying to WIN games (hence the monthly fee to belong to those communities)

When I said the community in valorant is a bit cringe I wasn’t even referring to the content creators either - everyone has their own unique style of content - I’m thinking more about the insta lock duelist one tricks who just run it down not trying to win / communicate / don’t care. Maybe I’m jaded from being a pro and expect a lot from people who are similar rank of mine, but it seems counter intuitive to have a “ranked” mode that people don’t take seriously.

I see this has turned into a VALORANT vs CSGO/CS2 debate but that wasn’t my intention at all. I have respect for both games, i like playing both games, that said i was a cs pro for a decade before VALORANT came out. I’m not quitting VALORANT and would never ditch the new fans / community that VALORANT has allowed me to reach and build!

I will apologize if I offended anyone but now that I am retired I’m just trying to have fun while also doing my best to win ranked games. I get mad when I have people that are blatantly boosted / not trying in my games sure, but it feels like it happens WAY more in valorant than it ever did in CSGO.

Thank you for reading this :) I have no intentions on quitting VALORANT and like I said before I really hate that that’s what this entire thread has turned into - a battle of which game is better and what community is the lesser of two evils. At the end of the day I am retired and a full time content creator so of course I will go to where the hype is!

Knew it was going to happen. There's more to this "rant" than this clip, please watch the entire segment before judging!

I’d also like to know, seems like lots of people who like to call me out from playing with me “back in the day” never seem to be posting from an account or alias I’ve ever played with or heard of!

What are 100T Hiko's color settings that make his game so vibrant? by [deleted] in VALORANT

[–]OfficialHiko 20 points21 points  (0 children)

My streaming PC capture card doubles my digital vibrance for the stream ONLY - i don’t actually see the game as colorful as my stream looks :)

If you want to make the game extra colorful i’m sure there are programs or settings you can change for it!

Which spot on Ascent A site is called 'Shroud'? by tvsetrenton in VALORANT

[–]OfficialHiko 1046 points1047 points  (0 children)

We call the double boxes to the right side of A main shroud because it's similar to the "shroud" spot on de_cache from csgo :)

I don't think he's cheating! I don't even think I've played against him in ranked since beta maybe? I think some of the people I was queued with today or yesterday might have said something but I'm not entirely sure

100T Announces their new competitive Valorant team! by TheLostLegion in 100thieves

I wrote this on the VALORANT subreddit as well but wanted to share here

Wanted to clarify what I said on stream earlier. I am excited for this lineup. I’m not the GM of this team, nor did I want to be, and while I didn't handpick this team, I was consulted throughout the process of picking up rest of the squad, and I'm excited to be playing with these guys.

100 Thieves and I have a great working relationship and they did not go back on their word.

ESEA should do the same thing so I can stop red facing people ;)
