We won't see professional athletes suddenly become well-known in international competitions until the VCT 2023 season concludes on August 26. The top players won't likely be seen on a map they are familiar with until off-season competitions, at which point they will surely need to re-learn.

A new act for episode seven of VALORANT signals the beginning of a new map rotation, which means the divisive Breeze will eventually return to the game—but not before undergoing a substantial makeover. Not only are the modifications reviving interest in the map among fans, but professional athletes, coaches, and analysts are also taken aback by the extent of the alterations.
Everyone is speculating on how this map will be used in the near future and whether the Aug. 18 reveal for the upcoming update is good or negative, from deleting the hallways near A site to completely redesigning mid. If you need more information about Breeze’s revision received positive feedback from experts and analysts, then read carefully, and don’t forget to share with your friends.
A well-known VALORANT caster named Doug “EsportsDoug” Cortez described it as “a whole new map.” Given that alterations to a map removed from the competitive pool have never been this significant, it makes sense why Breeze was gone for such a long time. Even when Split was largely taken out of play for the entirety of 2022, it only made a tiny fraction of the alterations that Breeze has made.

One well-known coach was more concerned about the competitive viability of the two maps departing the rotation so that Breeze could come back. The head coach of NAVI, Erik “d00mbr0s” Sandgren, commented on the switches, claiming that Riot is “removing the two best/most interesting maps where teams had different approaches.”
In light of Breeze’s return to the competitive map rotation, Fracture, and Pearl are the two maps that are leaving. Even with that tweet, d00mbr0s did conclude it by acknowledging that he was irritated and that perhaps his opinion was a little too personal.
Unfortunately, not all players embraced the rotation as much as d00mbr0s did. The rotation fits Kelden “Boostio” Pupello and his crew of Evil Geniuses well, as he stated simply: “My career is over.” Other observers have concurred that the map retains its distinctive openness following the changes, but some elements that made the map feel excessively open have been removed.
Commenting on these specific modifications, former Cloud9 coach and current content creator Airen stated that the map’s streamlining is definitely intended to reduce frustrating times, especially in mid. In theory, he thought they were positive developments all around. In response, he expressed doubt about how B site will change while also concurring that the map appeared to be “completely different.”
