　Eight domestic teams have been invited to VMM, and they will have a BO1 brute force for the next seven weeks.The team in the qualifying league can advance to the following Playo Flound, and the winning team who wins it will receive a prize of 1 million yen.Although this league is not a RIOT GAMES official league, it is nice for Valorant fans that you can see high -level games every Thursday.

　It is also important that the tournament also has prize money for all participating teams, including the winning team.Leagues, such as "VMM", which have given the players for a long time and have plenty of prizes, will be very grateful for the players.In order to increase such domestic leagues in the future, we hope that "Valorant" fans will definitely support "VMM".In this article, we report the first pattern of "VMM".

　One of the notable points this time is the newly added agent "Kill Joy" in the "Act2" update released on August 5.In the large tournament "Galleria Global Challenge" held the other day, Kill Joy was banned, so "VMM" is the first domestic tournament where Kill Joy was lifted.

キルジョイ

　Kiljoy, which has the skills to install turrets and traps, is an agent divided into sentinel, which is said to be suitable for defense and support.Kill Joy's skill is generally very highly controlled to the area, and ULT is a powerful thing that stops the movement of enemies within the range, and its performance has been highly evaluated by the community.At the same time, however, there are many other powerful agents such as cypher and sage in Sentinel, and it is a troublesome point to cut which agents to cut when adopting Kyil Joy.

　In the first round of "VMM", the second match of Sunsister vs. REJECT was a fight for the formation that adopted Kyil Joy.First of all, I would like to focus on this game and look at Kirjoy's competition scene.

第2試合SunSister VS REJECT

　The MAP selection of this league is Pick/Ban format.Both sides ban 1 MAP, and one team selects any MAP.It is a format that can be selected by a team that was not given the right to defend and attack at the start.In this match, Reject made Split, Sunsister banned Bind, and REJECT then picked ASCENT.

MAP選択はPICK/BAN方式

　Looking at the formation of both teams, both were removing the sage and adopting Kyil Joy.Sage, the only healer who was useful as an essential agent when the game was released, is gradually becoming the mainstream.Overall, the formation of both teams was almost the same, but Sunsister was different in the use of Sauva and REJECT adopted Phoenix.REJECT is a more aggressive formation.

両チームのエージェント編成

　In the first half of the game, the defense side, Sunsister, advantageously the game, and the round difference was temporarily open until 7-1.In this lead, the defense side, Skyfull, played the movement of Kiljoy.Skyfull has solidified the protection by installing a turret and alarm bot on the B site, and the other four players concentrated on mids and A sites.Of course, alarm bots will notify the enemy's approach, and it is quite useful for turrets.This is because the tallet has a low attack power, but the endurance value is quite high, with a hit stop at 120 or more, and a hit stop occurs when it lands, so the enemy's attack is considerably reduced.Therefore, even if the other four people are away from the B site, only Kill Joy will protect it, and it will be easier to retake.

　The skill of Kill Joy's nanosworm is also very powerful in defense.This skill, which causes continuous damage around 5 seconds from the activation, is worth noting that it can be started at any time after installation.If you install it at a valid point, you can activate it after waiting for multiple enemies to enter the range.In fact, in this match, Skyfull has achieved a double kill by activating the nanosworm hidden in the hut at the point B.

　At the end of the first half, Sunsister had a 7-5 advantage, but the Reject counterattack began here.REJECT was a newly enrolled EROC player, but this is not the B -site, but the impression that he used Kill Joy to solidify the catwalk that leads to A and A sites.On the other hand, Sunsister seemed to have had some difficulty in the operation of Kyil Joy after attacking.After all, all the skills of Kill Joy are suitable for defense, and it seems difficult to use turrets and alarm bots in attack.

　REJECT, who gradually gained momentum as the score was reinforced, still shined the personal skills of DEP and Hareee.In the 17th round, DEP players decided to remove four people in the operator from the 8-8 tie, leading the team to the perfect victory.In particular, the brave play that got off Heaven after seeing the smoke of the opponent's Omen, was a masterpiece.This play would have played a role in raising the morale of the team.

　The match was the second round, and the score at this point was 9-12 REJECT.First, Sunsister attacked the B site, but lost two before the guards of Eroc player Kill Joy and Feez Omen.SUNSISTER then switched to A -site, but Hareee, who was waiting in the mid, activated ULT and brighter the remaining three, and the game ended with a perfect round of REJECT.When asked about the performance of Kiljoy in an interview after the match, DEP players said, "I think it's insanely strong," and when asked about the enthusiasm for the next week, he said, "Thank you for your support because you are aiming for all wins."

最終ラウンドはREJECTがパーフェクト勝利

　The second point of this league is the existence of Absolute Jupiter.Absolute has been said to have no enemy in the domestic FPS scene since the "CS: Go" era, but they have won the vivid victory in the "GGC" the other day, and they are overwhelmingly the strongest team in the "Valorant" scene in Japan.It reigns as.The first candidate for the tournament is still Absolute, and on the other hand, one of the highlights is whether or not a team that can stop Absolute will appear.The format of this league is BO1 without blood or tears.In this format, it is not impossible to be upset, as Reject played one game from Absolute in the GGC final.

　The first opponent of Absolute, the first "VMM", was SCARZ.SCARZ is a corner of a domestic powerful team with the top players of "CS: GO", and at the "Rage Valorant JAPAN TOURNAMENT" held in early August, he was able to play with Absolute in the grand finale.The result was Absolute's 2-0 win, but if you take advantage of the experience of playing against Absolute in the official game, it would not be impossible to win Absolute in this BO1.

Absolute VS SCARZ

　In the match, Absolute was Split, Scarz banned Bind, and the selected MAP became ASCENT.The formation of both teams was the same up to Omen, Soeva, and Cipher, SCARZ adopted Kilgei and Sage, and Absolute used Reina and Jet.SCARZ is a configuration that uses three centinels, which can be said to be a form that specializes in defense and search enemies.On the other hand, Absolute adopts two duelists, especially TAKEJ Reina is an agent with one of the most aggressive performance in the game.

　Given this formation, SCARZ wants to earn a score on the first half of the defense side.SCARZ won the pistol round as expected, and although the competition continued to 4-4, Absolute gradually found a hole in the defensive of SCARZ.For example, on the ninth round, when it turns out that the scarz side Kill Joy has installed a nanosworm at the entrance of A long, Absolute invaded three people and entered the A site.When TAKEJ decides the first skill, Takej players searched for the enemy and decided on four kills.The SCARZ side seemed to be unable to handle the team to use Reina's aggressive characteristics as a team.

レイナの透明になるスキル「ディスミス」

　And Absolute was strong in defense.The masterpiece was the 14th round in the second half, when the offense and defense reversed.The scarz side is dispersed in A and B and attempts to attack, but Absolute brilliantly attacks and handles the attack, and the number of people is 4-1.The remaining scarz RYOTA player wanted to defeat as many enemies as possible and proceed with the subsequent round, but when he was in the market, CROW player Leicon Bolt flew on the B site.As a result, RYOTA's position was barred, and Barce player Omen, who rushed in, blocked his view in paranoia and killed.It was a perfect cooperation of Absolute, who could not loosen his hands to the last one.

はるかBサイトから飛んできたリーコンボルト

　SCARZ continues to change his hand, change the product, and attack, but he can't get a round at all.The game was decided, and SCARZ rushed to the B site using Kiljo's ULT, but CROW players two kills from outside the rock down range.In addition, TAKEJ players who were turning from the back also killed two additional.After that, the remaining Omen is forcibly installed using the instant movement ULT using an instant movement ULT, but Laz is immediately corresponding and kills.SCARZ had no choice but to defend the coordinates, and the match was a big difference of 13-4, and Absolute won.

悠々と解除するLaz選手

　In a victory interview, Laz said that the team was busy at events after the "GGC" and did not practice killing measures as a team.Still, is it possible to create such an overwhelming development in their strength?When asked about the enthusiasm for the next week, Laz said strongly, "I will aim for all wins."

DAY1を終えての順位表
