Valorant is one of the most popular FPS titles with a daily player count of approximately 700,000 to 1,400,000. The unique gameplay, in combination with Agents' abilities and tactical shooting, makes Valorant different from the rest of the FPS shooters in the market. It also attracts a lot of gamers to try out the game.
Valorant is a 5v5 tactical shooter separated into two sides - Attackers and Defenders. Attackers need to plant the bomb at the site and defenders have to defuse the bomb inside the given time. If the defenders defuse the bomb before the timer they win the round else it goes to the attacking side. The first team to win 13 rounds in the game is declared as the winner.
Sometimes a player's individual brilliance helps a team get the round. If a player is the only one to stand alive and win the round for his team by displaying some extraordinary gameplay, it is called a 'clutch' in Valorant. To clutch a round for their team, a player needs to be calm, composed, and utilize their game sense to the fullest.
