Everyone was hyped for the new map as the last map launch of fracture was not really applauded.
Set in Lisbon, Portugal, Valorant’s new map Pearl is located in an underwater dome with rich visuals and some exciting Easter eggs. . The map features long, narrow corridors with sharp corners that lead to an open middle area, which is giving off similar vibes to some CS maps like Inferno or Cobblestone, according to many players.

After spending hours on the new Valorant map Pearl heres what I've learned in two sentences. They replaced Split with another map that needs mid control. I feel like a lot of agent util is needed just to hold the mid and connectors and people aren't gonna be ready for it.

Pearl has a lot of potential and constitutes a vast area. It is probably the biggest map, as of now. As a result, Pearl could easily become overwhelming without a strong controller. Plus, sentinels are a must-have on Pearl to stop an ambush.
Nevertheless, Pearl is expected to be a brilliant addition to Valorant. It constitutes a fresh underwater design and seems quite simple to learn.
Pearl will be available for the Pearl-only queue for 2 weeks to give everyone a real chance at learning the new map.Split has been removed from the map pool rotation after the introduction of Pearl.
