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.
"Bro tried to wall-bang an Operator through three smokes at max range. That’s a classic Lau Shot.”
Laust is a big danish guy, he can be a meanie but when it comes to beer, he is the friendliest person you will ever meet. When you meet a Laust, always invite him to a party.
