Affleck revealed he’s a “promiscuous” flex player during an impromptu interview at Valorant Champions 2023’s fan fest. 

“I’m a KAY/O main right now, and I think Raze is my other main,” he said. “I’m a little promiscuous with who I main. I move around a little bit.”

The initiator and duelist flex is also well-versed with the meta, with Affleck knowing about the major changes coming to Valorant patch 7.04.
