The player “Foopa” is only 5 years old, but with the help of his father, he showcases his skills in the shooter Valorant. In a clip, he pulls off a strong 1v4 and a particularly sweet scene follows.
What happened? The reddit user SupaSnipaX is the father of Foopa and has published a short video clip. In it, you can see how the team of the 5-year-old is gradually being decimated.
After just over a minute, only Foopa is still alive and facing four enemies. With some clever movements and precise shots, Foopa manages to eliminate all opponents.
In the meantime, his character Reyna was down to 7 health points. However, thanks to his abilities, he was able to heal himself and was ready for the next fight. Notably, he pings his position to provide information to his teammates.
What makes the clip so special? In addition to the strong round that the 5-year-old played, the clip is particularly celebrated for the sweet reaction that follows. After the round, the young player is very excited, and you can see how he slowly processes the fight.
He jumps up from the PC, calls for his father, and runs out of the room with the headset on his head, shouting: “I got an ace, Daddy!”
Father proudly presents his son, also receives criticism
How is the clip received? The impressive 1v4 and the sweet action that follows receive a lot of support on reddit. On February 17 at 11:30 AM, the thread received more than 8,000 upvotes and ranks first on the current home page.
Other users comment:
- Quick_Chowder: “The little guy is better than half of all Reynas in Platinum.”
- Pink_life69: “He didn’t mindlessly run through the middle, outplayed 2 guys in the nest, and held a decent angle and aimed well in the 1v2 at the end. The little guy is 5. He has more brains than I do.”
- Riot_Preeti: “That’s so cute!”
But not all users agree that a 5-year-old is already playing Valorant. Valorant has a USK rating of “from 16 years”. Thus, the user Shawarmaandlettuce writes:
No, I don’t like it. Why the hell do you let children play games that are not suitable for their age? You are just ruining them.
The reason I don’t support children playing multiplayer games:
– They have the ability to turn on their microphones and (potentially) hear other older players who might curse.
– The addictive effect. It can change their routines (yes, I understand that children don’t have routines anyway), e.g., sleeping fewer hours and skipping meals.Some of these points might make me sound like an idiot, but those are just experiences I’ve had while observing kids.
What the father says: The father himself is proud of his son. Foopa is said to have been playing video games since he could hold a controller. He is said to like several games, but recently fell in love with Valorant.
Foopa is also said to have streamed on Mixer, where he was banned due to his age. The duo of father and son is now on Twitch. The little guy is also said to be able to read and enjoys all the comments about the clip.
Foopa is not the only 5-year-old who is active in livestreams. In December, we already reported about the streamer NewbCybot, who also plays and streams with his son.
He achieved a victory in the shooter Apex Legends, which also impressed many: 5-year-old shows on Twitch how to win in Apex Legends.
