For the unaware, smurfing is when a highly-skilled player from higher elo lands in a low elo lobby, creating an imbalance. Well, David outsmarted his enemies with his game sense and aim.
This also isn’t the first time that David is playing Valorant; he has previously played the game on and off stream. “It’s genuinely the most fun that I’ve ever had in gaming!” benjyfishy said as he justified his decision to move to Riot’s shooter.
Although he’s relatively new to Valorant, four years of Fortnite Competitive has definitely helped benjyfishy gain a lot of patience and decision-making skills. In a competitive shooter, patience is the key!
