This article talks about it being a divide between console vs pc gaming. It is from 2018 so it may not be that relevant anymore.

not that many black people that are high rank and if they are they could careless to go pro, every black person in immortal tells me i worry about the game and try to hard and im black myself

also everytime i say gga in vc in a game and get reported they ban me.... so i dont think riot likes that word either and most people AROUND ME say it

so unless its a white washed black person they arent going pro ( IN NA )

Article is ok but I see some flaws like Dora 2 is not a good esport for money unless ur the best of the bunch. Dota 2 players are pretty poor

  • Console gaming being more popular with African Americans than pc gaming
  • Large portion of black families in America sadly living paycheck to paycheck / under financial burden such that gaming isn’t seen as a viable option / not being able to afford proper equipment / not having time to practice and refine skills
  • African valorant scene and gaming scene in general is very small and underinvested

I don’t know enough about other countries/regions to speak on them

Essentially it’s just similar problems as gc where there just aren’t as many players of African descent playing valorant in general compared to total playerbase

Yaboidre is goated, honestly believe he had the mechanical aim to become a tier 1 player in NA valorant but atleast he works for rito now

The answer to this question is more complex than anything discussed on this forum. A couple people above have listed a few of the main points though

Could definitely be, he looks cuban or dominican tbh. I was unsure bc no one else mentioned him here
