Pearl Map Holds Key to Success in VALORANT Champions, According to Pro Players
The addition of Pearl to the official map pool in VALORANT has sparked excitement among pro players. Despite its recent release in March, many believe that the team who masters the map first will gain a significant advantage.
In an interview with Esports.GG, LOUD’s Felipe “Less” Basso, one of the Brazilian representatives at VALORANT Champions, expressed his belief that the team who can best adapt their game to Pearl will come out on top.
Less acknowledges the challenges of adapting to a new map, stating, “They were faster than us and we were lacking some adaptability during this game” after a tough loss to OpTic on Pearl.
Despite being a recent addition, Pearl has already gained popularity in VALORANT Champions. It has been selected six times, equaling the number of times Icebox, Breeze, and Ascent have been picked, as reported by Liquipedia. Haven remains the most frequently picked map, chosen nine times.
As LOUD prepares for their decider match against ZETA DIVISION, they have one more day to analyze and improve their performance on Pearl. In their opening game, they secured a victory against the Japanese side with matches on Ascent and Fracture.
