  • There’s no question that the thing that sets Valorant apart from other tactical shooters is the abilities.
    In addition to your run-of-the-mill flashes and smokes, you’ve got walls, teleports, aerial strikes, resurrections, hell, even rocket launchers.
    And while VALORANT does have precise gunplay, and shooting definitely matters, what such an array of abilities offers players is a sea of opportunities to bully one’s opponents by way of bamboozling them.
    Here are the top 10 200 IQ plays in Valorant.

    The most brilliant valorant play ever is a Jett pushing out a smoke from mid with an operator, getting a kill among 5 people looking at him and dashing back. Absolute 5Head.

    please don't bash me omg T_T, I just want to point it out so they can be careful of it the next time they got confused with the agents' names, idk maybe due to stress, unfamiliarity of the game, and/or the long and exhausting recording. Nevertheless, although I may not be in a position to say this, but I think everyone that is apart of theScore is doing a great job always delivering great content and making sure that they do it swiftly so that the viewers can still live at those moments that their favorite pros' has yet done a 200iq play at the pro scenes!!!

      if you somehow manage to lost all the round you’re just bad. First to 3 rounds you might lost but if you still havent adapt and dont know how to counter it than you’re just bad

      I am trash at the game (silver) and is quite easy to win with 5 duelist if the other team is not great, that said I have seen several radiant games won by a team of 5 duelists as well.
