Valorant

Valorant is a 5-versus-5 tactical first-person shooter. Each player selects an agent with unique abilities, blending CS-style gunplay and economy with hero-based utility. Attackers win a round by planting and detonating the spike or eliminating all defenders; defenders win by eliminating attackers, defusing the spike, or running down the clock.

Agents & roles

Agents fall into four role classes: Duelists (entry fraggers), Initiators (info & utility to start fights), Controllers (vision-blocking smokes), and Sentinels (defensive utility). Agent picks vary heavily by map, so per-map agent data is key for meta-analysis.

Match structure

A Valorant match is a best-of series; each game corresponds to one map. Regulation is first to 13 rounds with a side swap after round 12. At 12–12, overtime is played in pairs of rounds until one team leads by two.
