Lau Shot
(noun)
In Valorant (or similar tactical shooters), a deliberately reckless, flashy, and “clip-worthy” shot attempted with little to no chance of success. The defining feature of a Lau Shot is that it is executed not to win the round, but to intentionally throw it.
A throw that succeeds in its mission of sabotaging the round, thereby costing the team the game, is known as a successful Lau Shot.
Origin: Named after a player (or archetype of player) notorious for prioritizing style and meme potential over actual victory.

(Noun)
A Mok Shot is a term used in Valorant to describe a flashy, high-risk flick or outrageous shot that somehow lands perfectly. It’s the exact opposite of a Lau Shot: while a Lau Shot is a reckless attempt that ends in an embarrassing whiff, a Mok Shot is that same reckless attempt actually connecting in the most stylish way possible. The key to a Mok Shot is that it isn’t a “safe” or “calculated” play — it’s the kind of shot you take purely for the highlight reel, and when it works, it looks like god-tier aim rather than dumb luck. Teammates usually react with disbelief, either hyping you up as a prodigy or flaming you for getting away with nonsense you shouldn’t have pulled off in the first place.

“Dude swung with an Operator, quick-flicked a Jett mid-dash, and actually hit it — that was a Mok Shot.”
