One type of agent is dominating the pro VALORANT meta in Americas

Two weeks into the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023 regular season, each region has developed their own strategies for both compositions and gameplay, but one region stood out. In the Americas League, the Brazilian teams have started strong while the U.S. teams are still getting used to their new rosters.

Yet, across the board, one specific group of agents is working out very well in the Americas: smokes. From Omen to Viper, some of the players with the best stats in 2023 so far have found their own by blocking sightlines and helping their team get onto and away from bomb sites.
