VALORANT

rev 4/15/21




VALORANT is a Riot Games title that can only be played on PC currently.  


VALORANT is a tactical shooter that sees you and 4 teammates square up against 5 other players in a firefight.  VALORANT isn't just about your gun skills. You'll need to utilize unique abilities, strategy, and finesse to outwit (and outstyle) your opponents, all while planting or defusing a Spike threatening to erupt.



How To Create A Match (5v5)



The Hone Team on the platform should create the game lobby and add their opponents to the lobby. Please make sure to have enough room on your friend's list before the matches start. This is so that you can add your opponents in-game.  In a best of series, the Home Team selects the first map, then Away Team selects the next map, and it continues to alternate until the win requirement is met. 


Add your opponent as a friend within Valorant. To do this, select the Add Friend button and add your opponent using their Riot ID and Tag Line. You can find their Riot ID and TagLine on the platform right below their names.


To invite your opponent, right-click your opponent's name in the friend’s list and click on the "Invite" button.
