Long break, short season: Empty VALORANT schedule leaves pros lost, ‘depressed’
The VALORANT Champions Tour is coming soon, and a long offseason is creeping up right after it. The lack of events announced for the period has led pro players to share their frustrations on social media.
This prolonged downtime has left many professional players grappling with a sense of drift, like how former T1 player Daniel ‘Rossy’ Abedrabbo expressed on X (formerly Twitter), stating, “I’ve never felt like I’ve had less purpose in my life. Truly this schedule makes me depressed and I wouldn’t doubt other players as well feel similar.” 100 Thieves’ pro-player Sean ‘bang’ Bezerra echoed this sentiment, replying, “Feel this, wish I can time skip into 2025.”
