About Kyle

Kyle leads ValoBuff’s settings and performance coverage: FPS optimisation, graphics and display settings, crosshairs, mouse sensitivity and DPI, input latency and the hardware behind them. His aim is to separate the settings that measurably change how the game plays from popular tweaks that do little.

His byline so far has been on ValoBuff’s event coverage: the VALORANT Champions 2025 group draw and Paris grand final tickets, VCT EMEA’s first triple-elimination Kickoff in Berlin, Masters Santiago 2026, the FNS and Petra retirements, and seasonal content such as Snowball Fight and the holiday capsules.
