aspas read the manga before the match at VALORANT Champions 2024

On the fourth day of the VALORANT Champions 2024 tournament, unusual behavior by a aspas player caught the attention of spectators. Before a match between Leviatán and Talon Esports began, aspas was spotted reading manga on a tournament computer.

Although the Japanese broadcast did not include this moment, the English broadcast 17 minutes before the match started showed aspas relaxedly reading manga. While most players traditionally engage in dash warm-ups or training programs, the player showed an unconventional approach by reading the manga.

Despite the relaxed mood, aspas had a strong performance, with 37 kills and 29 kills in the two maps, 11 of which were first kills, helping his team to victory.

Previously, the meme of the player's chair tilting during timeouts was hotly debated online; this time he surprised the community with his unusual approach to match preparation at VALORANT Champions 2024.
