VALORANT Betting

Valorant is possibly the most hyped game being released in 2020. For the past few weeks, the Valorant beta has been taking the gaming and esports community by storm. The servers have now been turned off for a week, as they prepare for the full release on June 2nd.

It can be hard to gauge how well Valorant will succeed as an esport, but there are a number of reasons as to why we can expect it to be brilliant. Firstly, it is developed by Riot Games with the focus solely on good, fluid, competitive gameplay. Riot Games also developed League of Legends, which is arguably the biggest esport title in the world.

As mentioned, there are a few things that should help Valorant excel when it comes to pure competitive gameplay.

128-tick servers

Minimum of 30 FPS (frames-per-second) on most minimum spec computers (dating back a decade)

60-144+ FPS will be achievable on modern gaming computers / laptops

Datacentres spread globally with the aim of <35ms ping for players in major cities

Commitment to anti-cheat from day one.

Shooting is precise, consequential, and highly lethal.

Whilst being a unique gameplay experience, it does share similarities with other games. Possibly the best way to explain the game to a newcomer is a combination of the tactical, precise aim of CS:GO with the character abilities of Overwatch.

Much like League of Legends, players will choose a character to use each game. Meaning everyone will have a gun and a unique set of abilities that they can use.

This should create exciting, creative and explosive gameplay, especially at the highest level.
