I have been insterested for a little while now in ways to get into the valorant esports casting scene and wondered if anyone had any advice or ran small tourneys for practice on or anything like that?

I am new to Val and my friend told me to play some death matches but I get like 8 kills and only because they are looking the other way

So whenever I am in a match it says that all of my teammates are muted, all settings are fine and all types of voice chat is turned on, is this a bug or am I just stupid?
