Former Call of Duty pro and the founder of 100 Thieves, Nadeshot, also gave his opinion on the game. “I played VALORANT all weekend and I gotta say, I had a ton of fun,” Nadeshot said. “Excited for the future of this game.”

TSM streamer Gale even put “VALORANT streamer” in this bio, saying that it was the “most sick game ever” and that he would main the agent Phoenix.

Several Fortnite pros were also invited to play the game this weekend. “Played VALORANT the last 3 days and it was easily the most fun I’ve had,” Jaomock said. The French monster Gotaga expressed that he couldn’t “know what to play until the closed beta.”

Several Rainbow Six Siege players also shared their opinions, saying that they got “slammed” by good players and that it was a “very well done mix of many different things.”

Overwatch players were invited as well. Kephrii said that it was “unbelievably good” and that he would main the fast agent Jett. CS:GO players also expressed positive impressions, including Vitality player shox.

Fans should expect to see a great deal of VALORANT content on April 3. The closed beta was also recently announced for April 7. Keys will be given out using Twitch drops on certified VALORANT streamers.

The game is set to be released this summer.
