Valorant – Phoenix #1 Perceptive High-Elo Playstyle Guide

- Why Play Phoenix? Phoenix has access to some of the best entry abilities in the game. When his flashes are used effectively, Phoenix can open up almost any area/site for his team to take. Not to mention his ultimate which basically gives him two attempts at securing an area. Master the basics of his abilities and you can easily begin catching people off guard for relatively free picks. Phoenix's aggressive play style allows him to do things most other agents aren't able to do. Even when defending, decent Phoenix players will occasionally use a flash in an attempt to catch an unsuspecting enemy player. This play style is quite unique and currently only works with a couple of agents in Valorant. With all of that being said, his play…

Valorant – Cypher #1 Clever High-Elo Playstyle Guide

Agent Guides, Valorant

- Why Play Cypher? Upon release, Cypher was one of the most annoying agents to play against due to many of his camera spots. Since then, however, many of his camera spots have been nerfed, making Cypher only slightly weaker. Good Cypher players still know the strong camera spots that provide incredibly valuable information to his/her team. Cypher's defensive abilities and play-style allows him to usually hold a site on his own. If enemies decide to push up into Cyphers' abilities, his team will have plenty of time to rotate and provide support. - Cyphers' Abilities Cypher has very cool and powerful abilities that give vision and extra site control to his team. Understanding how and where some of his abilities should be placed is generally the first thing that…

Valorant – Sova #1 Insightful High-Elo Playstyle Guide

Agent Guides, Valorant

- Why Play Sova? Sova arguably has some of the best potentials to get vision for his team. He has multiple abilities that can either zone enemies out of a specific area or push a specific area. Sova also has quite a bit of flexibility in where he plays since his abilities are extensions to get vision for his team. When played properly, a good Sova can carry a game through smart use of vision and patience. When learning Sova's abilities, be open to trying different play-styles that compliment his abilities in different ways. For example, if you Owl Drone someone that you know is alone, attempt fighting them. If you win the fight it's a free pick, giving the edge to your team for the rest of the round.…

Will Valorant Kill CS:GO?

Valorant

- Table of Contents: Is Valorant The CS:GO Killer? What Will Actually Happen? Will Two Pro Scenes Exist Simultaneously? The Future of FPS Gaming - Is Valorant The CS:GO Killer? From my experience, there are really two sides to this argument. One is that Counter-Strike: Global Offensive will always be the better FPS game and Valorant will manage to fall short of what CS has accomplished. The second is that Valorant will entirely kill CS:GO, leaving CS pros no choice but to swap to pro play for Valorant. I actually believe that both of these arguments are a bit silly, and I actually find it quite odd that some people get emotional when I bring up Valorant as a potential competitor to CS:GO. If anything, I think Valorant's release will…

#1 Valorant – Economy and Buying Guide

Valorant

Valorant's Economy and Buying System After having followed the launch of Valorant's Beta, one of the first things most people began to notice was the buying system.

Valorant – How Ranked MMR Works

Valorant

Valorant's Unrated MMR System vs. Ranked MMR System After having played for quite a few hours in Riot's new Valorant, I've picked up and learned quite a bit about how the system currently works. More specifically, I've noticed there is a balancing system for both unrated and ranked play. Each one works a bit differently and are typically both very effective at balancing teams. Table of Contents: The Unrated MMR System The Ranked MMR System How Hard Are Specific Ranks? How Does Valorant's Ranked System Compare to CS:GO's? - The Unrated MMR System The unrated game mode is likely what every player will hop into first - it's quick, easy, and shows off pretty much everything a new player would want to see.
