My brother's baby caused an IRL Viper Pit in the house so I had to fill in for most of the game and holy shit that was the biggest headache I have ever gotten.

- Playing Default doesn't work at all

- Peeking is difficult because they are in places no one should be in

- I got timing'd so hard to the point that I had to check if my mental clock was in another time zone compared to theirs

- There are at least 3 default plants per site that I memorize, and none of my lineups worked because they didn't plant anywhere.

- I have never seen people who mastered the spray of an ares/odin/spectre AT ANY RANGE in my own elo, but here however is ridiculous. I don't even think TenZ controls the spray to this degree.

- Crouch peeking to the extreme degree exists and I can't break my usual habits to adjust to aim at stomach level.

- Its literally the equivalent of checking all roads to check if its safe, and then when driving across you get run over by a truck who came from the grass.

My mind couldn't process anything that was happening in that game. Once my brother came back I asked him what does he think about when he plays Comp

He just told me "I don't really think about it too much, I just run in and see what happens and let it flow from there."

I am a plat player but I don't claim to be good, but my god my brain malfunctioned through the roughest 25 minutes of my Valorant life cycle. Maybe I should turn off my brain.
