In what will come as no surprise to anyone, Jett was the most picked VALORANT agent throughout VCT Masters Berlin‘s group stage. The mobile duelist has proven time and time again that she’s a must-pick in pro play. Jett’s ability to get in and out of danger, access unique vantage points, and dominate during save rounds makes her VALORANT‘s premier duelist. While no agent enjoys anywhere near as high of a pick rate at Masters Berlin so far, Sova, Astra, and Skye round out the top four. Screengrab via VLR.gg

Egor “⁠flamie⁠” Vasilyev is free to explore other options since he’s no longer under contract with Natus Vincere, the Ukrainian organization announced today. The Russian CS:GO rifler, though, will play for Na’Vi Junior in WePlay Academy League season two to regain his individual form and share his experience with youngsters. He lost some time in the active lineup starting in December 2020 when the organization promoted Valeriy “⁠B1T” Vakhovskiy from Na’Vi Junior and the team rotated both players depending on the map. In April 2021, however, the young blood became Na’Vi’s official fifth ahead of

VALORANT’s latest map, Fracture, is a significant departure from the traditional map design players have come to expect. This H-shaped map spawns defenders in the middle with immediate access to both sites. Attackers can use a zipline to reach the northern and southern points of the map before the round starts. This creates a unique scenario where attackers can attack a site from two sides without having to lurk or engage the enemy, changing how defenders must prepare for the rounds. But a well-coordinated team that properly uses controllers and sentinels

Even though Yoru is considered one of the worst VALORANT agents, one nifty trick can make the duelist feel a tad better. The Japanese agent’s ultimate allows players to drift into another dimension, moving unseen and unheard as long as enemies don’t get too close. But Dimensional Drift also limits Yoru’s vision, making it a risky play if you’re unaware of the opponents’ whereabouts. One VALORANT player showcased a way to work around the limitation, posting a video of their findings earlier today. Dimensional Drift clouds Yoru’s field of view
