How Valorant Matches Work
Valorant is a competitive tactical shooter from Riot Games built around attacking and defending the Spike site. Two five-person teams alternate sides, earn credits from round results, and choose weapons plus abilities before the barrier drops. What separates it from Aviator or Limbo is direct team coordination: an agent’s smoke, flash, heal, scan, or movement skill can change a round. You need
a Windows PC client and a confirmed account path before match access.
