One VALORANT region prohibits players from shooting bodies, pro says

Yuto “million” Ueno, a professional Japanese VALORANT player for Murash Gaming, has said on Twitter today that he’ll no longer shoot dead bodies in Japan Challengers Split Two because it goes against the rules of the event and apologized for his acts.

In western culture, shooting dead bodies is widely considered a form of taunting opponents across multiple shooters such as VALORANT, Call of Duty, and CS:GO. It arguably doesn’t have any other meaning in America or Europe than to just throw some banter at your opponents after you win a round, but apparently, it may have a different meaning in Japan.
