First, let’s take a brief look at this game

Valorant is a tactical team-based first-person shooter set in the near future. Players control characters from many countries and cultures around the world. In the main game mode, players participate in either attacking or defending teams with five players on each team.

Each character has unique abilities and uses the money they have in each round to buy abilities and weapons. The game has many types of weapons including submachine guns, shotguns, machine guns, rifles, and sniper rifles. Each weapon has a different level of difficulty so that players can find and use the most suitable weapon. The attacking team has a bomb called Spike, and they need to place it in areas on the map. If the attacking team successfully protects Spike and detonates it, they will win and score points.

If the defending team successfully defeats the attacking team and defuses Spike (if it has been placed by the attacking team) or runs out of time (if the attacking team has not placed the bomb), the defending team will win and receive points. After twelve rounds, the attacking team switches to the defending team and vice versa. The first team to reach 13 points wins the match.
