My guy Jett dashed underwater: Valorant Pro sets World Record at Tokyo 2020 Paralympics
Australian swim team, composed of Will Martin, Matt Levy, Ben Popham, and former OCE Valorant Pro Rowan “Magnetbrain” Crothers, won a gold medal in the Men’s 4x100m Freestyle Relay last August 30, setting a new world record of 3:44.31. Aside from bagging gold from the relay, Magnetbrain currently holds another gold medal for the Men’s 50m freestyle and a silver for the 100m freestyle.

Magnetbrain was reported to have taken a break from Valorant to focus on training for the Paralympics. He last competed under team Pants Down in the LPL Challengers of September 2020.
The official Valorant Twitter account even tweeted a warm congratulations to the athlete after the announcement of his wins. In his reply, Magnetbrain hints at reviving his Twitch stream after a year-long hiatus at the game.

Magnetbrain is more than his diagnosis of cerebral palsy. These achievements have all been made possible through his hardwork and dedication. The pro gamer-swimmer has not only brought pride to the Valorant community, but has also made a great splash in breaking down barriers in sports to promote inclusivity.
