For a mobile game, the best form of advertisement is by having a competitive scene. In the past years, we have seen games like PUBG Mobile, Free Fire, Mobile Legends and a plentitude of other titles have exponential growth, mainly because of the competitive scene.

Now one can counter this statement by saying “Only popular mobile games have a competitive scene”. While that is true, we should keep in mind that most of these games had their first tournament while they were in the early stages of popularity.

There is no information on whether Valorant Mobile will follow the footsteps of the original title or will it be a completely new experience. But, one thing we can say is that Valorant Mobile will have a competitive scene.
