This certainly would have sent the Valorant community into a frenzy. FNATIC asked the new intern to actually edit Alfajer’s ace—the result might very well have been described as such! The tweet had a link to the clip, and thousands of gamers came into the replies to give their reactions ranging from complete disbelief to being totally hyped.
First: What even went down? For those lacking the background, in a high-stakes match, the very own Alfajer of FNATIC executed a crazy ace (LF removes entire enemy team solo, for those uninitiated). The original clip was already legendary for smooth plays and very crisp aim, but anyway, this one ingenious man at FNATIC decided that the clip should be handed over to the intern for a little bit of editing. And well, the intern did just that.
Very unique editing. Explosions. Random Fast Cuts. Really feels like a throwback to Windows Movie Maker in 2005. Of course, gamers were divided between thinking it was hilarious, and thinking it was a total disaster. One way or the other, it was hilarious.
And then reactions started pouring in. People like @MrThiccBeans just couldn’t comprehend: “ONLY 2 BIG BIG BOOMS FOR ALFA?????” Meanwhile, @PauoGarden cracked some jokes about it: “Intern’s first day and last day happened simultaneously huh,” meaning, he reckons, that intern might get fired on the spot. Here’s another one: @yowazain shared the same perspective: “I think he is the one LOL,” meaning the bad edit made it cool again.
And then the opposing track came out. @xRocket_tg claimed that the intern deserved an immediate promotion and @mel1_o said, “Hire him now.” Others like @alamut97 just said it took them back to “2005’s school computer class.” And, trust me, I am totally with you on that one.
There were quite a few detractors, though. @shlokkkk90 came to the rescue of the original, declaring it “already so damn good,” while @_messiuuu spoke up for a “plane transition,” saying “because why not make it even more chaotic?”
Now, that’s when the real climax started: The clip turned fast into a meme. @Supyuna_ inquired, “Who let the intern cook?” while @ArenaEsportHub wondered if the whole thing was made on Canva. At the same time, @tim_ferver joked that all professional editing were “shaking rn” thanks to the intern’s power.
Whatever mixed reactions came through, there’s no denying FNATIC just won again. Funny or just funny—because of pure accident, the clip just got people talking. Engagement is everything in esports. So, shoutout intern, whoever he is. Not the next Spielberg, but he definitely made gamers crack up.
If FNATIC is smart, this diversity could spin off into a regular bit. More intern edits; or better yet, an actual community editing contest. Because if there’s one thing gamers love, it’s CHAOS—and this, this was pure-bred chaos.
That intern may have given life to one of the most talked-about edits in Valorant history. Honestly, and truly, we’re here for it. Keep cooking, intern. Just maybe… dial back the explosions next time. Or don’t. Either way, we’re watching.
