Similarities to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive map Inferno
With the trailer launch of Pearl Map, VALORANT fans have noticed some similarities to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive map Inferno. The ancient architecture of the Pearl map caught the attention of those who dabbled in CSGO. Pearl map looks like a cleaner, happier version of CS: GO’s Inferno map.
Valorant pearl map really looks like csgo inferno and it’s fucking ridiculous as agents have mobility

After playing the new valorant map pearl, I really like it
It reminds me of a CSGO map kinda like inferno 🥺— gigi (@_gigibtw) June 18, 2022
It will be so interesting to see how VALORANT agents and their abilities play out on the brand new Pearl map. The map has a lot of tight corners, agents with blinding and other abilities will be very effective on this map.
