Before tackling the ranked game-type it is important that players understand how the game mode actually works. Players will win matches and gradually rank up into higher and higher ranks, each rank having 3 tiers within the umbrella term for the ranking before they can be promo
With Riot unveiling their early plans for VALORANT esports, we know there will be more tournaments to come in the near future. As teams fill their rosters with players both known and unknown, the tournaments will become more competitive and more exciting, following in the footsteps of the T1 x Nerd Street Gamers Invitatio
Support plays a huge role in any team-based shooter. Being able to heal, or even revive, teammates can give a team a huge upper-hand. Luckily for Valorant players, there is only one support style agent to choose at the moment: S
More than anything else being able to coordinate with your team is the most important skill within Valorant. Players need to be able to call out and Artstar Csgo talk to their team. Being able to collaborate and decide how a team is going to approach a particular round is one of the many reasons that communication is a necessity within Valorant. A team that has no gameplan going into a round is essentially useless in the face of a well-coordinated team. Being able to collaborate and decide on a given tactic is essential to winning Competitive games, and requires communicat
The tournament was chock-full of excitement, with no shortage of head clicks and insane clutches that kept viewers on the edge of their seats the whole way through. But it wasn’t just the crazy plays that made T1’s tournament so significant. The community learned a lot about VALORANT as an esport through watching the game’s top talent square off. Here are five of those things that we lear
Another reason for the necessity of communication is the common occurrence of call-outs within a game of Valorant. A player may see an enemy player attempting to flank their team, and if that player does not communicate that with their team than they are certainly going to be quickly wiped out. However, having the ability to quickly say that the enemy player is attempting to flank can be the difference between winning and los
It’s not an overstatement to say that T1 and Nerd Sreet Gamers’ tournament was incredibly fun to watch. From Hiko’s insane 1v4 clutch to EliGE popping off at every possible moment, VALORANT proved that it can live up to the hype as an esp
One of the lesser-used abilities at Brimstone’s disposal (for good reason) is his Stim Beacon. Tossing this out will grant you and any allies in the radius RapidFire either while standing in the effect, or for four seconds after leaving the area. This RapidFire can doesn’t honestly make a huge difference and isn’t going to do much for your team, but if you’re pushing with a few teammates into the same area, you may as well give everybody the bo
Much like the Incendiary Launcher, this can be a great way to force an enemy out of good cover, or out of a small room, considering the damage radius of the ability. This can drastically turn the tide of a round, forcing an enemy to give up a really advantageous position and making them fight on your te
The matches right now are quite long, and not everyone has time to sit and play these long games. If Riot added shorter matches, it would take the gameplay to the next level as more casual players and newcomers would be enticed to sit through losing ga
This smoke can be used offensively to great effect too, used to block off valuable enemy sightlines allowing for you and/or your team to enter a site without defenders having access to their most favorable positions. Defenders are going to adjust to this as the match plays out, and you’ll have to feel out which areas they’re moving to in order to continue getting value out of these the longer the match g
This phenomenon is exactly why a player should learn multiple agents. So that a player isn’t just a one-trick pony. For multiple reasons, the one-trick pony dilemma is a major issue in these types of games. If a match is playing out and your Phoenix is constantly being shut down by the enemy team, then you probably should switch to another agent that counters what is shutting your Phoenix down. Or as mentioned, someone locks you out of your main, you should always have a backup character if nee
Even with the game’s similarities to CS:GO , Riot designed VALORANT to be a unique experience. Although it’s possible an established pro from another game will come and prove themselves the best, it’s more likely that some fresh young talent will emerge and find his calling in VALOR
Both Viper and Pheonix are great offensive agents as they can easily put a lot of pressure on point by using their abilities which makes it easier for the team to plant the bomb. However, Viper’s ultimate ability can single-handedly move an entire team on to the point, whereas Pheonix’s ability is more selfish and gives him a second life. Outside of their ultimate abilities, Viper and Pheonix share similar abilities so their ultimates are the deciding factor when choosing an offensive h
