Chinese VALORANT Player Makes History with Longest Name in Esports
In the world of esports, unique names are abundant, and VALORANT is no exception. Recently, a Chinese player took this idea to the extreme by adopting the longest name ever seen in esports.
This week, a lower-tier Chinese VALORANT player decided to go by the online alias “Taoist daily recitation of homework scriptures in the morning and evening.”
This player’s sentence-long name sparked curiosity and concern among competitive VALORANT fans. They wondered what would happen if this player reached the same level of popularity as TenZ or Demon1.
When comparing this player’s name to others on the Chinese team, such as IGTHESHY or A Jie, it becomes clear just how long and challenging their name is. While those names are easy to use when creating a Riot account, the same cannot be said for “Taoist daily recitation of homework scriptures in the morning and evening.”
Interestingly, the character limit for a Riot account is 16, and even without spaces, Taoist’s name still exceeds that limit at 63 characters.
A screenshot of a tweet shows that the name doesn’t fit within the designated box on the website for player names.
However, there is a possibility of shortening the name to a pronounceable acronym, such as “Tdrohsitmae.” This would make it easier for casters to manage compared to other long names like “hfmi0dzjc9z7.” Although Taoist’s name is a joke due to its length, it can still be pronounced comfortably.
It’s worth noting that hfmi actually qualified for Masters Tokyo earlier this year, while Tdrohsitmae competes in the lower tiers of Chinese competitive VALORANT. It’s uncertain whether they are aware of the attention they’ve garnered from players around the world through Twitter and Reddit.
Some of the best responses to this unusual name came from social media platforms. One Reddit comment humorously stated that every caster is praying for Taoist to go by a simpler name. Another person expressed curiosity about what would happen to Taoist’s name if the group of players were picked up by a franchised Chinese team.
It has been suggested that Chinese VALORANT players are still in their early naming days, reminiscent of the trolling and carelessness often seen on platforms like Steam or consoles.
Regardless of what the future holds for Taoist daily recitation of homework scriptures in the morning and evening, the player has certainly made an impression with one of the longest names in esports.
