With the Valorant beta starting, one of the most important aspects of the game players will need to learn quickly are the maps.
Callouts, plant sites, angles, all these are key to success, and that's not even taking into account the specific aspects that make each map different - with Riot making efforts to create maps that have unique gameplay features like Bind's teleporters.
There will be three maps at release Bind, Haven, Split and a fourth unnamed map. Currently, in the closed beta, there are three maps to play
Split Map: Spike locations, and callouts
Split Map Strategies
Split is in some ways a traditional three-lane map. Two Spike sites sit either at opposite ends of the defending sides part of the map.
A is arguably the hardest bombsite to attack in this map as there are two entrances for the defending team to set up from, this gives them greater unpredictability and makes it harder for attackers as they need to cover two sight lanes when pushing in.
