Bad manners hit differently in VALORANT, as players don't just stick to the standard teabagging, but instead get rather inventive on how to flex over other teams.
But after the introduction of the VALORANT Champions Tour Team Capsules, teams are now dishing out disrespect in new forms.
Just a few days after the Capsules were released, 100 Thieves have already caught strays from former players and Karmine Corp has been spotted punishing KOI by tossing their bundles out of the map.
Karmine Corp troll KOI with VCT Capsule disrespect
Karmine Corp and KOI have quite the banterous rivalry, as the two colossal streamer-backed organisations have been jostling to find success on the main stages of elite esports.
But over in VALORANT, observers caught Karmine Corp player Ryad "Shin" Ensaad upping the ante over their competitors, having killed a KOI player, picked up their Team Capsule and tossed it out of the map - "Get out of here!"
"No you didn't?!" said caster Tom "Tombizz" Bissmire. "I don't know who I'm saying that to, the player or the replay ops team who put that on the screen. That's nasty."

Casting a completely different level of shade though, ex-100 Thieves player Derrek "Derrek" Ha was spotted using his former org's skin in Evil Geniuses' match against G2.
But despite 100 Thieves thinking that he was simply being nice, other fans noticed a snake Gun Buddy attached to the Classic, which wasn't quite as friendly.
Disrespect aside, Team Heretics also used the Capsules for some on-stage antics, having sported "Please Buy Heretics Skins" on their jerseys.
The VCT season has already started with some quite spicy matchups and clashes, and only more will come as the teams gear up for the first international tournament of the year.
