Lauing
(verb)
The act of attempting a reckless, low-percentage, “
clip-worthy” play in Valorant (or other FPS games) with the full intention of throwing the round or even the entire match. To lau is to deliberately sabotage while disguising it as a flashy highlight attempt.
Used sarcastically to justify
failure: any missed shot or questionable
play can be excused as “just lauing.”
“Why’d you peek mid with a
Shorty against an Operator?”
“Relax
bro, I was lauing.”
“Stop lauing, it’s overtime. We actually need this win.”
“He said he was clutching, but we all knew he was lauing the second he went for that
360.”
