Summit1g’s first Valorant gameplay video was posted on YouTube on 5 April 2020. With some beautiful reflexes involved in the video, Summit1g can definitely be deadly in the game. After testing the game, he also mentioned during one of his streams that Valorant is going to be 10 times better than Overwatch. He said this in terms of spectating and hero plays.
