In VALORANT, particularly in higher-ranking encounters, you could face knowledgeable opponents who make it difficult to reach Platinum or above. However, among all of them, one player sticks out: Cloud9’s Jaccob “yay” Whiteaker. Before joining VALORANT in late 2023, Yay had a lengthy career in NA CS:GO. He started off playing for Andbox before finally switching to Team Envy due to a shift at Andbox. Team Envy became a serious worldwide challenger thanks to Yay’s outstanding skills with the character Jett. They even advanced to the VCT Masters Berlin 2023 championship game and secured a spot in the VCT Champions 2023 competition.
Yay has expanded his role above that of simply a single Jett player since Envy switched to the OpTic flag, taking on Chamber more frequently lately. His Chamber performances were crucial in helping OpTic maintain their streak of international LAN appearances and advance to VALORANT Champions.
Yay moved to Cloud9 on September 27 in order to build a powerhouse team in advance of VCT 2023. He joins Qpert, leaf, Xeppaa, vanity, and Zellsis. Here is Yay’s list of VALORANT settings, which also includes information about keybindings, mouse sensitivity, and crosshair settings.
