About Andrew

Andrew is ValoBuff’s competitive and esports analyst. Since April 2025 he has covered the VALORANT Champions Tour: Champions 2025 in Paris match by match, the Esports World Cup in Riyadh, and the 2026 off-season of roster moves, retirements and new partner teams.

His focus is why teams win, not just who won: agent compositions, the tactical calls that decide a series, and how the pro meta filters down to ranked.

He also writes ValoBuff’s troubleshooting library, covering more than a dozen VAL and VAN error codes from Riot Vanguard failures to hardware bans, along with its crosshair and crossplay guides.
