Valorant is one of the fastest growing esport game in the recent times which got the characteristics of Pubg as well as other popular games from the past like special skills.
Some people play for fun and some other do it in serious manner and make it as their career path.
Valorant has a different game play from PUBG.
But it's also a shooting game the same as PUBG. I haven't played it but looking to its game play, Valorant is more likely CSGO than PUBG.
