The famous Twitch streamer Daphne “39daph” Wai has spent many hours playing various shooters and has now explained the infamous “Valorant accent” that one gets when playing too much of it. Furthermore, according to the streamer, you should not date anyone who has such an accent.
Who is the streamer?
- 39daph is one of the larger streamers on the platform with 1.1 million followers on Twitch. On average, 6,235 people watch her, and she has over 3,700 subscribers.
- The streamer plays not only shooters like Fallout: New Vegas or Apex Legends, but also the currently popular Elden Ring or Cyberpunk 2077.
- Now, Wai has stated that you should not date anyone who possesses the “Valorant accent”. For her, that’s a total red flag.
The Valorant accent is a red flag in dating
What is the Valorant accent? Famous Valorant players like TenZ have a specific way of speaking dubbed the Valorant accent. Thus, the term spread in the community.
Some players are said to artificially stretch certain words while waiting in the lobby for the next game. A clip of 39daph went viral, in which she explained and accurately imitated how the Valorant accent works:
I saw a few TikToks and realized that you should never date anyone who has a Valorant accent. If you don’t know what the Valorant accent is – it’s when they talk like this: “You’re so braaaain-dead, dude.”

She then came up with a fitting comparison: “Do you know what I just noticed? They talk like race car engines” and then mimicked a race car.
The clip ended with: “Steer clear, that’s a red flag,” so: “Avoid those, that’s a red flag.”
The community celebrates 39daph’s imitation
What does the Valorant community think about it? Below the reddit post, players are thrilled by 39daph’s imitation. The post has generated over 20,000 upvotes.
Here’s what the community says:
- Old_Sport says: “To me, it always sounded like when I’m filling a glass with water, but the engine of a race car is also a pretty good analogy. LMAO.”
- eeem1l says: “I have never agreed so much in my life.”
- xanee_music recognizes a family member: “Oh, she just described my 14-year-old brother. That explains a lot, lmao.”
Some also talk about the well-known Valorant streamer sinatraa, who supposedly talks just like 39daph described. That’s why many players are said to talk that way and have adopted the Valorant accent.
Others, on the other hand, recognize themselves in it and warn other reddit users: “Stay the hell away from me, I talk like that too!”
