I've seen a lot of black FN pros though but maybe its just that FN is super big especially at its peak

It's more so that they arent PC gamers. Console/handheld gaming is bigger

fn is more engraved in black culture. lots of big celebrities like drake and travis scott play it, and lots of "w/l" streamers like adin ross and speed play

Why would you add not racist in the title... It's a valid question.

This is true, not many of us play on PC when i switched from PS4 to PC i ended up buying a PS5 because most of my friends refused to put the money into a PC and switch. I'd personally love to see more representation in the league but console is still the current meta for black people

are you saying that black ppl are more likely to be a fortnite pro because drake played with ninja once and travis scott had a concert?

there's a small representation indeed, but there are a few.

however, this is not a valorant pro thing, nor is it an issue of potential talent, rather it's a PC gaming thing. most black gamers (in NA and UK at least) are console oriented

ok lets relax a little bit, there are wealthy parts of Africa that can afford pc's and internet. And most black american families contrary to popular belief can afford nice things, PC gaming just isn't advertised a lot to us until we get older.

It's all about representation isn't it? Have any black artists done any of the cinematic music or tracks in valorant? Are there any famous black people who aren't famous for playing valorant who have played the game and promoted it? Even in terms of agents, there are only 2 black agents out of over 20 now. I get that riot tries to appeal to all ethnicities when it comes to agents, but these are all valid point, on top of the fact that there is no market for valorant in Africa either, so it makes sense that there aren't many black pros because there aren't that many black valorant players to begin with.
