5 Takeaways from the T1 x Nerd Street Gamers VALORANT Invitational > 자유게시판

Sova, like Viper, is incredibly good for such a low rating, but he earns 8th due to a mix of the aforementioned issues. His arrow-based abilities leave him vulnerable, are easy to get away from, and can be replicated. His location abilities are powerful, but so are Cypher's. Sova's shock arrow and ultimate attacks are useful, but also loud and avoidable. Regardless, good Sova players are a nightmare to play agai

Currently, winning a round means that every player on that team will receive 3,000 Creds, and the losing team gets 1,900. If one team loses consecutively at two and three in a row, they’ll receive a bump to even out the odds a bit, but overall, the game rewards success and punishes failure. These numbers are subject to change however, since the game is still in b

Brimstone begins the top-5 lineup on my list, bringing the best smokes in VALORANT for both offensive and defensive team plays. His incendiary grenade can zone out hot points; His Stim Beacon can grant rapid fire. Brimstone's ultimate ability, Orbital Strike, has the capability to outright kill players caught within its range. Although not the largest area-of-effect, the strike hits quick and h

Each Agent has a total of four abilities: one is a Signature Ability that is free each round, two others that must be purchased but can overlap rounds if not used, and one Ultimate ability that is progressively charged up through eliminations. Both the Signature and Ultimate abilities draw the comparison to Overwatch , since that is how all characters operate in that g

There are currently three maps in the closed beta: Haven, Bind, and Split. The objectives and core gameplay elements are consistent throughout, and so the bottom line here is that players who want to become their best in VALORANT must learn them inside and out. Click here to visit blitz.gg, with highly detailed images of each map and the names of key areas. It won’t be of much use if someone calls for defense of B Door outside B-Box and another player has no idea where that

Despite the tournament being loaded with legendary names and top talent, Gen.G proved that as spectators, we've seen nothing yet. The young squad in their first major VALORANT tournament went out and beat some of the most accomplished players in espo

The Incendiary can also be used to push an enemy out of cover that they've already gained. This can be a fantastic way to push an enemy into the waiting crosshairs of either you or a teammate, since the enemy's only options are becoming a burn victim or taking the gunfi

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

Players like sinatraa and brax, who were both high-profile signings, did shine but so did lesser known players like mouseSpaz's Yassine "Subroza" Taoufik and Prospects' Ryan "Winsum" Johns. It's possible that the rush for organizations to start bidding wars over big name players may be misguided. It could prove beneficial for teams to do their own scouting, and sign lesser known players for less mo

With that being said, running has its uses when no one else is around, to help allies, and a fun strategy that is by no means competitive is to designate a player as the loud runner, one who has no intention of actually fighting the opposing team. This player only serves to lot of noise while the rest of the team tries to catch the enemy off guard. It does not work often, but it’s a lot of

VALORANT began its closed beta last week and there is no doubt that the game will be a hit. For players looking to dive into the newest tactical FPS, there is quite a bit of useful information to know in order to avoid simple mistakes and grow in skill. Comparisons online are being made to CS:GO , Overwatch , and Artstar Csgo other FPS games. In a sense, there are similarities or borrowed concepts, but VALORANT is ultimately a beast to learn in its own ri

Ranking VALORANT's agents isn't easy to do. Riot Games clearly focused plenty of energy on maintaining competitive balance, and therefore, each character is a viable choice. Nevertheless, some agents have risen to the top in popularity – and for good rea

Brimstone's Sky Smoke is, arguably, his best ability. Sky Smoke not only provides exceptional cover by limiting an enemy's line of sight, but it can also be used to hide the Spike's location. Due to Brimstone's ability to possess three Sky Smokes during a period of time, a player can use them more liberally than other smoke screen style characters. Brimstone players can use the Sky Smoke to cover an area's main choke-points or entrances, preventing enemies from being able to pick off your teammates. Or as mentioned, it can be used to hide the spike's location, preventing the enemy team from being able to disarm the weapon. Is used correctly, Brimstone's Sky Smoke can be the biggest factor in his team winning a ma
