Is it possible to be pro player

Hello guys, I play valorant since the beta and never managed to aim a high level rank, but much of this on account of pc configuration, never had conditions when I changed my pc configuration to a more or less improved my rank, but nothing so rewarding, I played lol since 2014 dreaming of being pro, but unfortunately being poor and fucked does not help, but efim.

But the point I'm here to address, is according to how will be the entry into the competitive valorant, will it be more difficult to access over time or with time will depend on the level of each one.

For now would be the most ideal way to enter the competitive on account of being starting or not makes no difference, regardless of your level you can.

I have this doubt because of age, the more time goes by it seems that I feel it gets harder, from what I saw you to play at the high level both in ranked lines or in competitive valorant you need a pc at least high tech, and this is very difficult for people who dream, but fortunately have to work for period to buy and build one according to start playing.

So that would be my point, does it make a difference according to how you enter the scene with age?

well you reflexes become slower with age in fps is what i believe but there are players who are above 30 and are playing competitively so I think its worth a try

nah, in the valorant client there's gonna be a path to being a pro!

which sounds like the most impossible thing to actually work

Olá galera, jogo valorant desde do beta e nunca conseguir almejar um rank de alto nível, mas muito disso por conta de configuração do pc, nunca tive condições quando troquei minha configuração do pc para um mais ou menos melhorou meu rank, mas nada tão gratificante, joguei lol desde de 2014 sonhando em ser pro, mas infelizmente ser pobre e fudido não ajuda, mas efim.

Mas o ponto que venho a tratar sobre, é de acordo como será a entrada no competitivo de valorant, será que com o passar do tempo será mais difícil o acesso ou com tempo vai depender do nível de cada um.

Por agora seria a forma mais ideal de entrar pelo competitivo por conta de estar começando ou não faz diferença, independente do seu nível você consegue.

Tenho essa dúvida por conta de idade, quanto mais tempo passa parece que sinto que fica mais difícil, pelo o que eu vi você para disputar no alto nível tanto em filas ranqueadas ou no competitivo do valorant você precisa de um pc pelo menos high tech, e isso fica muito difícil para pessoas que sonha, mas felizmente tem que trabalhar por conta de período para comprar e montar um de acordo para começar a disputar.

Então seria esse meu ponto, faz diferença de acordo como você entrar no cenário com a idade?

por gentileza ignore o português muito mal escrito :(

With the current state of how the game is right now, you definitely need to be at least immortal to even have a chance of going pro. I’m not the guy to ask about how to rank up but there’s tons of information about the best ways to improve. Personally I would suggest:

  1. Finding a duo/trio to queue with. This makes matchmaking a little less random with throwing teammates and gives you better comms.
  2. Try to learn at least 1 agent in every role. Being flexible on multiple agents is what separates good players from great players
  3. Get your name out there. Joining discord servers with lots of players that compete helps people know who you are. Posting clips or streaming might help too (definitely not necessary though).

This is just my advice though so take what you want from this. Hope it helped.

With regards to your age. Reflexes only dim with time. Mentality, decision making, and general game IQ don’t really decrease with age. Many good players have played into their 30s. My best advice though would just be don’t get discouraged. Hope this helped.

Do you think it is worth focusing and believing all that is possible?

Age shouldn't be problem unless you are in your late twenties/thirties already. Only problem with age is that the older you get the more responsibilities you have and the harder it is to put in the time and sacrifice time for becoming a pro. Your 16 year old kid can just play all day long because they don't have to worry about work or other stuff like paying bills. Also the older you get less likely will teams give you a chance because they much rather invest in young players than old unless they are really good at what they are doing like Karrigan type of IGL.

and when it comes is it easier or harder as time goes by. Most likely harder. Game evolves and players evolve so you need to learn more and more. And there will be more competition and players as time goes by. Like look at like CSGO. For example its super hard to become pro at that game anymore just because its so advanced and mastered that unless you put in crazy amounts of hours you will never be able to compete even you have good mechanics. Talking about tier 1.

And if you want to become pro you pretty much have to be high rank. Because high immortal/radiant ranked is like unrated for actual pro players. Even tier 2-3 level. Obviously its not always so simple, but for you even getting a chance you likely have to be high ranked. But its all about becoming better and improving so if you put in the time who knows what rank you will hit at some point. And when it comes tech it shouldn't matter too much I don't think. Like if you are playing with 30fps or something then maybe it will have big impact, and having 144hz+ monitor with same FPS helps, but you shouldn't use it too much as excuse unless your setup really really sucks. For example in Overwatch that is obviously different game one of the pros made it top of ranked with 30FPS and 150 ping when they started. Think about that. And again its different game and these things matter more in Valorant, but don't give yourself false hope.

Just typing something that came to my mind. I don't have experience. But good luck in whatever you doing!

Only if you have a backup plan. Success is not guaranteed. You should have a backup plan incase you fail to succeed cause you said being poor and fucked does not help. For a person who is financially struggling you need to have a back-up plan cause you know you need to earn

Your words to my view totally wise, thank you, but I think it really is very different hadware in valorant, my highest rank was imt 3 playing solo with a pc config i5 9600kf, gtx750 ti and 144hz, but I do not feel it was completely my merit you know, then I fall to rank imt 2 and 1 always and I feel that my fps is not fluid and this hinders me so much that fps of 160 drops to 100 you know.

Plus I see that the only thing I can be is proplayer, but I still have to have a pc to confirm if I really have chances, that's why the post to take away my time doubt.

as time goes on, it will become harder. look at cs, back in 2019, there were still a ton of players going pro, but as games and its esport becomes older, the less new people are able to go tier 1 in it. but regardless if you are going to try your hardest, you would need to atleast be a fragging igl, because if you are 23 and going pro just as a normal player who listens and shoots well , there is always going to be a 16 year old caffeinated to the tits who is better than you, so unless you bring a brand with you, which you aren't, he is going to be picked over you.

I mean yeah setup matters and I don't know how your setup is but my point is that having 240Hz monitor with consistent 240 FPS doesn't instantly make you better or boost you much. Immortal 3 is good already so maybe on that level more consistent FPS would help you. I thought you were like below immortal level. Also what you could try to do is just gapping your FPS to 100 or wherever it drops so you get used to that and it stays consistent even if you couldn't get full advantage of 144Hz monitor. I don't know is it good idea but could try. Because if you were good enough to actually become paid pro you would most likely be able to perform even with 100fps.
