Phoenix's Hot Hands is another fire-ball style attack in which the character launches an incendiary blast that deals high damage to a surrounding area. This attack, when tossed, will place a lingering flame area that does incredible damage-over-time. This attack allows Phoenix players to "smoke" up a team that is defending a given area or even prevents a rushing team from accessing a particular entrance or exit. Not to mention the abilities potential team-wiping effects if thrown on an unsuspecting group of enem
T1, with the help Nerd Street Gamers, hosted VALORANT 's largest event to date on Monday, which showcased legendary names such as Jay "sinatraa" Won, Michael "Shroud" Grzesiek, Spencer "Hiko" Martin and more facing off against a multitude of professional gamers, including many who have already declared their intention of playing VALORANT professiona
Phoenix's ultimate is one of the most interesting in the game. As it provides the fire-casting character some of the best survivability in the game. Run it Back allows Phoenix to create a clone of himself which is set to a set timer. When this clone is cast Phoenix can travel from his "real" body and attack enemies, see their location, cast his abilities, or do anything he can in his set period. When the time is up he will travel back to where his "real" body is. If the Phoenix clone is defeated before the time is up than the clone will disappear and the Phoenix player will resume from his original location. This ability is one of the best abilities in the game and allows Phoenix players an unprecedented versatil
One of the lesser-used abilities at Brimstone's disposal (for good reason) is his Stim Beacon. Tossing this out will grant you and any allies in the radius RapidFire either while standing in the effect, or for four seconds after leaving the area. This RapidFire can doesn't honestly make a huge difference and isn't going to do much for your team, but if you're pushing with a few teammates into the same area, you may as well give everybody the bo
These can be used in an offensive or defensive capacity, with the latter usually used in order to force attackers around corners or through hallways blindly, giving you a severe advantage in any gunfight as they'll have to get their bearings as soon as they exit the sm
A classic double-barrel shotgun that can cause one-shot kills at close range, but is useless at distance. With only two shots before having to reload, you'd better hit your target. Interestingly, the Shorty is classified as a sidearm rather than a shotgun in VALORA
To find the most success with Phoenix understanding how to use his abilities effectively is a necessity. Thankfully, Phoenix's kit allows for players of the character to combine his abilities to create a variety of synergies. Alongside the character's potential for some powerful team-related combination, Phoenix players are spoiled for choice when it comes to optimal p
Brimstone's signature ability is his Sky Smoke. Activating this ability will pull up a map, allowing you to select one-to-three areas on the map where you would like to drop smoke, blocking lines of sight. The usefulness of this ability is going to up as you get more familiar with the maps, and it can go a long way in either helping or hurting your team, depending on how they're u
This gun does impressive headshot damage and has a quick rate of fire. It also has a higher ammo capacity than any of the other pistols with its 15-round magazine. Unfortunately, it loses some of its accuracy as you fire thanks to the silencer. Still, one headshot to an unarmored foe will kill t
The cool thing about VALORANT is of course its range of characters, known as agents. Currently, there are 10 agents available in the game, some of which need to be unlocked as players play the game. This is called contract activat

In their first tournament playing under the Gen.G brand, the young team showed up big. Led by their captain, Keven "PLAYER1 Champagne, they beat every team they faced off against, dropping a map only to Team Brax in the finals. Anthony "gMd" Guimond showcased his skills on information specialist Sova while Danny "Huynh" Huynh had sniper duties on S
