T1, one of the most successful valorant teams in NA, is benching Tyler “Skadoodle” Latham for now. The player doesn’t have enough varsity in the agent pool.

The Valorant scene in North America is pretty intense, as there are several top teams fighting for first place. So far, TSM is definitely the more dominant team in the region with numerous titles behind them. T1, a team that is really good in theory, has been somewhat unsuccessful so far. In the recent Pittsburgh Knights Gauntlet, the team played without their star player – Tyler “Skadoodle” Latham. Team captain Daniel “from” Montaner stepped in for him.

Skadoodle worried his fans about his sporting future in Riot’s new shooter and released an update:

“As you may have noticed, I have not been able to compete with the team and will not be playing in the event this weekend. I’ve been working hard to expand my agent pool and overall experience with OP, and will be back with T1 when the time is right. But in the meantime, I’ll be training with other teams to stay on the ball. I’ll be back soon – and better than ever.”

It’s certainly a tough decision – the decision to step back from one of the biggest teams in order to improve its capabilities. There’s still no guarantee we’ll see Skadoodle back with T1 anytime soon, but at least we know why. In the long run, he will play in other teams before eventually returning to the org.

Background

Skadoodle’s position in T1 was called into question in the past when two of his teammates inadvertently revealed their chat during a stream. Austin “Crashies” Roberts and Victor “Food” Wong mentioned here that the former CS:GO star was holding them back heavily.

It’s unclear which team Skadoodle will join to hone his skills, but we’re pretty sure it won’t be one of the big organizations. We’re really impressed with his performance with Sage, but it would be nice to see him do well with other agents as well. In the meantime, T1 could start looking for a replacement player (temporary or not). For now, the team’s coach will probably play as a substitute for Skadoodle.

What do you guys think? Was Skadoodle really the biggest problem in the T1 lineup? Or is it just the lack of team synergy? Tell us on Facebook!

ValorantAgent

Agents are the playable characters in Valorant. Each agent belongs to one of four possible classes and has four abilities. In addition, almost every agent represents a country.

There are nineteen agents in total, although in the earliest versions of the game there were only eight. The rest were added gradually.

There are four different classes: Duelist, Initiator, Controller, and Sentinel.

Agents have one Signature Ability which they get free of charge each round.

The riot was meaning to send off the game with 12 agents, however, just 8 were accessible in the early press constructs. On March 29, 2020, a confidential occasion presented Breach. Since the Closed Beta send-off on April 7, 2020, Raze was added alongside the guide Split, bringing the Agent complete to 10. Five agents are accessible at the first send-off, with two more that can be effortlessly opened by stepping up in the game. More agents can be opened by taking Contracts and assembling XP on them.

Agents have base well-being of 100; Light Shields carry the most extreme well-being to 125 and Heavy Shields to 150.

It is the goal of the designers that another specialist be delivered around once per act. New agents require 12-15 months to create, and their plan is engaged around focuses, for example, what’s absent from the game’s current playstyles, are there any imminent thematics that present large open doors, and what’s required for better game wellbeing.

Roles

Every specialist satisfies one of four jobs, characterized by their capacities and playstyle:

• Controller agents are specialists in cutting up perilous domains to get their group in a good position.
• Duelist agents are independent fraggers who their group anticipates, through capacities and abilities, to get high frags and search out commitment first.
• Initiator agents challenge points by setting up their group to enter the challenging ground and push safeguards away.
• Sentinel agents are protective specialists who can secure regions and watch flanks, both on assailant and protector adjusts.
