Definition

Valorant is Riot Games' tactical 5v5 first-person shooter, launched in 2020. It combines Counter-Strike's round-based tactical structure with hero-shooter agent abilities (smokes, walls, traps, ults). Valorant's competitive ecosystem (VCT, Champions) is a top-three esports scene. The agent roles (Duelist, Sentinel, Controller, Initiator) define team comp.

Example

"Valorant ranked is my main — Sentinel main, Diamond peak." The player specializes in the tactical FPS at a high rank.
