The Valorant Champions Tour Masters Reykjavik witnessed a change in agent pick rates compared to the regional masters.
Jett seemed to rule the VCT Masters Reykjavik with the highest pick rate of 81%. She was followed by the Russian initiator, Sova, who had a pick rate of 73%.
Killjoy, who maintained consistency in her pick rates throughout the regional masters, made it to the top five agents’ pick list in Valorant’s first-ever international LAN tournament as well.
Unexpectedly, the two controller agents, Viper and Astra, also made this list. Meanwhile, according to VLR.gg, duelists like Reyna and Yoru turned out to have the lowest pick rates of 4% and 3%, respectively.
