Riot Games is hosting a showmatch before the VCT Masters Tokyo final to showcase the new Team Deathmatch mode. Here’s all you need to know about this match.
Excitement is building in the Valorant community for the release of Episode 7, which is bringing many new features to the game.
In addition to a new progression system and Agent 23, a new sentinel, one of the biggest changes is the addition of Team Deathmatch. Hosted by a revengeful robot, the new game mode pits two teams of five players against each other in one of three custom-made maps.
Unlike in normal Deathmatch, abilities can be used in Team Deathmatch, adding another layer of excitement to this game mode. There will also be healing and ultimate orbs scattered around the maps to help players as they try to guide their team to victory.
The showmatch at VCT Masters Tokyo will give the Valorant community the first look at Team Deathmatch, letting players know what to expect from the new mode. Here’s all you need to know about the showmatch so you don’t miss it.
