VALORANT

Valorant is a 5v5 tactical FPS developed by Riot Games that blends precision gunplay with agent-based abilities. It emphasizes team coordination, strategic execution, and high mechanical skill. The game is built for competitive integrity and structured esports growth.

Core Gameplay (Esports Context):

• Attack vs. Defense format: one team plants the spike, the other defends.
• Round-based economy and ability management are critical strategic elements.
• Win condition: first to 13 rounds, with overtime rules in official matches.

Team Composition:

• Each player selects an Agent with unique abilities. Agents fall into one of four roles:
  • Duelists – aggressive fraggers and entry players
  • Initiators – create space and gather information
  • Controllers – provide map control via smokes and zone denial
  • Sentinels – anchor sites and provide utility for team safety

Effective compositions balance fragging power with utility and information control.
