In Valorant, professional streamer shroud raves about the 6th map Breeze. For him, it is the “best map they have ever made.” But at the same time, he fears that the map might not resonate with the majority of Valorant players. Discover here what shroud appreciates about Breeze and why he is still worried about the map.
What is the new map about? The new map Breeze has recently been introduced in the team shooter Valorant and features a Caribbean island. The map has, among other things, the following characteristics:
- Wide, open spaces
- Generally a very large map
- Special trapdoors through which one can escape or launch surprise attacks
- Hard to hold bomb sites
New Map Breeze is the favorite of professional streamer shroud
What does shroud like about Breeze? For shroud, the new map is a delight. In a stream, the professional enthusiastically praised the new map and applauded its advantages. Above all, he is captivated by the high complexity and the resulting synergies among the various agents and their skills:
The synergy between all the characters and their abilities is simply huge! You can’t just block a passage with a smoke and expect everything to work. You have to collaborate and use utilities wisely to take a site!
Why does shroud worry about more maps like Breeze? For shroud, this is “the direction in which maps should be developed.” However, he has his concerns as the map seems much more tailored for professionals than for casual players.
I think the top players love it and everyone else will hate it. That worries me a bit because I believe it’s the best map they [the developers] have ever made. But if it gets bad feedback, they might never do something like this again.
Indeed, players criticize among other things that the map is too complex and that one must keep too many angles in mind at some points. However, the critique is not as negative as with the previous map, Icebox.
Icebox was actually too complex for most players as it had many convoluted places and vertical levels. So it could be that the new map is received better by players than shroud fears. A Twitter poll has shown that a large majority of players seem to like the map or would be satisfied with some small adjustments.
What does everyone think about Breeze now that it’s out in #VALORANT? ?️

So shroud’s desire to have more maps like Breeze in the future is not looking too bad. But how do you see the situation? Do you like the new map Breeze, or is it too complex for you as you prefer the small, old maps for a quick round of Valorant? And what are your thoughts on the features from Episode 2 Act 3 of Valorant?
At least the last new heroine Astra did not go down well at all.
