VALORANT’s new game mode is the smash hit that the community deserves
A lot of buzz surrounded the new Team Deathmatch mode prior to its debut alongside the launch of VALORANT Episode Seven. It appears now that the buzz was warranted, as the team-oriented, ability-driven mode has been overwhelmingly welcomed by the game’s global community.
Before the mode even came out, several creators and pro players expressed their excitement for Team Deathmatch. Sentinels superstar TenZ praised it as a “super fun” warmup alternative to the normal deathmatch experience, given its more “authentic gunfights.” He also liked that it provides a way to warm up with Jett knives, even if it’s somewhat limited given how ultimates work and charge in TDM.
