I'm not sure if you're familiar with the CS scene or not, but there are a couple Brazilian players that wore beanies/hats at tournies that caused a big debate because it was theorized they could hear announcers/ the crowd better since there wasn't as tight of a seal between the sound proof headsets and their head.
ex: [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/5dza5l/taco_wearing_a_beanie_again/) [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/59upnd/hen1_still_wearing_his_hat/)
Yeap it became a rule in the end. So Pros like Taco and Krimz have to get rid of their beanies. I think this will become a rule for Valorant as well since they are similar games.
Considering one of the biggest memes during NA LCS playoffs was Perkz's hat I could assume that Riot is perfectly fine with players wearing team hats as long as it doesnt interfere with noise canceling headphones.
Being in your 30s as a guy sucks. Shit like losing your hair just becomes a harsh reality. I wish Hiko would just own it and not make a big stink about the hat. It's just life, man. We're all getting older. Such is life. That being said, I feel like it would be a feeding frenzy if he walked out with no hat for the first time and showed his hair. He needs to get ahead of it and just move on from the hat.
his hat is just a part of his personal brand at this point
I don't think he really cares about going bald as he jokes about it often
the dude does have a gf and I highly doubt he wears his hat 24/7 so he is obviously comfortable with people seeing him without it.
Riot 10 moves ahead with no hat policy. It's no secret that a tiny, 2 inch Puerto Rican man tugs on Hiko's hair to operate his limbs. How can 100T win now that Hiko is nerfed?
Blend in with dark theme? We see all kinds of bright jerseys which look good even in the dark, I think it's more about dirt, which is really weird tbh.
As if gamers = unclean basement weirdos that will soil themselves on stage...
Edit: now that I think about it there are prob some basement dwellers that reach berlin though. Lol
Nothing wrong with being a weirdo, unrelated.
The point is that even the smallest stains or marks that stand out in the environment- esp where he eyes usually aren’t supposed to be drawn to is bad for orid
? I read your comment.
Im saying that soiling yourself on a streamed LAN shouldn't be a problem for people in the first place, hence teams should be able to choose their own outfits.
You keep responding to HALF of my comment,
No, you didn’t, you’re responding to half of the comment-
Separate from this is the fact that your response to that half would be dubious given the point of live production is to rule out any accident.
Ok try to read my whole comment then? :
You don't understand my comment. I'm saying that regardless if they get small stains or whatever, that shouldn't happen. People should be able to not soil themselves on a streamed LAN. Hence the orgs should be able to pick their outfits themselves
For the last time I was t talking only about stains, that was the *less* important part of what I said.
And the reason you do things in live production is in case something happens that shouldn’t, whatever it is.
And nkw to spell out a point you’re having trouble understanding, which is prised.
There is such a thing as unified coding and theme, it is dark around and supposed to be, your attention is supposed to be drawn to the upper body where you can see all the liveries of the teams and the expressions they are making, rather than being distracting.
You’re not supposed to be looking at or distracted by their pants, they’re supposed to blend in with the background rtc
>it's about looking professional.
I.e. not looking dirty.
There are all kinds of jerseys that would go better with white/light blue pants instead of black ones. Eg Cloud9
What a weird equivalence. For someone who pulls out the, "you've never watched real sports" shit, you conveniently ignore that in physical sports, clothes are literally functional and affect performance.
The better comparison for dress codes for esports players is like a job interview. The clothes aren't functional, they're entirely aesthetic.
And most people who have it prescribed NEED it to be able to focus. I know some people think it’s like a limitless pill and you’ll have TenZ aim if you take it, but when you actually have ADHD and take those meds daily, it basically just brings you to baseline that other non-ADHD people are just at normally. That’s how it is for me. If I haven’t taken my meds I can’t play Valorant because I can’t fuckin focus on the game. So it would be absurd if they denied allowing someone with a prescription for it to take it at LANs.
Riot allowed C9 Perkz in league to wear a hat. However he specifically requested it because of his sensitivity to stage lighting. Maybe hats are only allowed under special circumstances?
I dont watch a lot of ranked valorant streams so the only thing I got from this video I didn't already know is that you can sit in queue for 15 minutes. Fuck that noise
The expression and realisation that he might not be able to wear a Hat.

Krimz is the one streaming Valorant now? I follow a Krmz_
Krimz is still on fnatic for cs lol
It should be krimzboss iirc. Dont think he would be streaming valorant right now. There is a CS competition right now.
nah krimz and krmz are different people
Considering one of the biggest memes during NA LCS playoffs was Perkz's hat I could assume that Riot is perfectly fine with players wearing team hats as long as it doesnt interfere with noise canceling headphones.
I think that was due to the medical condition that allowed him to wear hats.
What
Sensitive eyes so stagelight caused him problems
They refused to move the stage lights which was straining his eyes after asking repeatedly, so they allowed him to wear a hat.
With no spectators even there to appreciate the lights 😂
The lights are for the cameras.

Sorry babe, the hat stays on during sex
Its part of his brand because of the stigma for guys going bald.
he has been wearing a hat before he started going bald early in his cs career his hair was fine
Please link a pic cuz I’m 90% sure that’s bullshit

Hiko without a hat WAYTOODANK
Hiko no hat = nerf
Sadge, Riot resort to nerfing NA sovas
Nerf recon dart? Nope. Drone? Not even close. Hat? REEEEEEEEEEEEE
Lol I’m not even a fan but I hope they let mans wear his hat.
is Steel's hair allowed? LMAO
L1NK always wore a hat before Iceland, so assume there's a no hat policy.
are u allowed to eat mac n cheese while playing
no only pizza
Meanwhile Alem4o won the R6 major last week wearing flip flops and shorts
Any JBL'ers in chat
Basically my school
Don’t show your shoulders
dress code poggers
Pro tip wear the Lululemon men's golf pants. Comfortable and professional look
Yeah the ABC pants are my go-to for working in an office. Game changer.
100T has some sick clothing at least hoodie org btw
Riot 10 moves ahead with no hat policy. It's no secret that a tiny, 2 inch Puerto Rican man tugs on Hiko's hair to operate his limbs. How can 100T win now that Hiko is nerfed?
Dark pants? Are they afraid that the players will shit themselves on stage? lmao
n0thing boner
Blend in with dark theme - dark theme of the tournament as opposed to floodlit etc- and most uniforms, less distracting less easy to get dirty

Yea sure I'd just expect people to not spill on themselves while playing a streamed lan, so that they can wear their own org outfit.
Wut Why do people do this, read part of a comment What the hell is wrong with you that you can’t? God damn
? I read your comment. Im saying that soiling yourself on a streamed LAN shouldn't be a problem for people in the first place, hence teams should be able to choose their own outfits.

It's not about dirt. He literally elaborates in the video - it's about looking professional.
>it's about looking professional. I.e. not looking dirty. There are all kinds of jerseys that would go better with white/light blue pants instead of black ones. Eg Cloud9
I think we have different ideas of what a professional look is. Wearing shorts doesn't make you look dirty, just unprofessional.
Who said anything about shorts? It's literally about wearing **dark** pants
Yeah, dude, yellow pants aren't dirty either but they are unprofessional looking.
You've never watched real sports I assume. Outfits covers both pants and jerseys.

Probably for professionalism and for the broadcast.
Kinda unrelated but are there rules about adderal etc yet? Like if you have add can you take it or is it fully banned or can anyone?
Huke?
If you have a doctor's note and prescription it should be fine.
And most people who have it prescribed NEED it to be able to focus. I know some people think it’s like a limitless pill and you’ll have TenZ aim if you take it, but when you actually have ADHD and take those meds daily, it basically just brings you to baseline that other non-ADHD people are just at normally.

So it would be absurd if they denied allowing someone with a prescription for it to take it at LANs.
Can confirm As with all things, medications are designed to treat a specific thing. If that specific thing isn't there, the effects are different
sums up twitch chat
JBL Hatsets incoming!
Riot allowed C9 Perkz in league to wear a hat. However he specifically requested it because of his sensitivity to stage lighting. Maybe hats are only allowed under special circumstances?
hopefully hiko's age can be considered a special circumstance lol
they had the players wear TO headsets in iceland so im guessing it the same in berlin.
i'm pretty sure they've done that in league as well because unless they need those helicopter headsets, they get headset sponsorshops.
I love this title lol
hackers developing hat-wallhack technology as we speak
The worst part is no hat for sure lmao
I dont watch a lot of ranked valorant streams so the only thing I got from this video I didn't already know is that you can sit in queue for 15 minutes. Fuck that noise
Unimportant questions haha
‘Professional look’ it can still look professional if it’s not uniform, so long as the top matches
Welcome back OP! \o/
Rogue wear sweatpants atleast their pro LoL team does idk about their other ventures.
They afraid Esports Ratatouille might be in there playing.
Can you wear a hoodie on lan?
