M1xwell from G2 Esports wanted some changes in Valorant tournaments. He acknowledges that organizers of the Ignition Series are given freedom but wish to see some regulations to make the experience better.

M1xwell wants a veto system introduced in the game. He further clarified in a subsequent tweet that he wants the system implemented for maps and not agents. This goes on to say that while in a professional tournament, some maps favor your team while the others may be detrimental.

“The issue is that today the organization has forced X map to play each round, instead of banning maps until the last one. This implies that a luck factor enters, you can play your worst map and go home.”

The second change M1xwell wants is the choice of the hosting location. The game servers are random and no one would want frustrating games just because of server issues. Letting the teams choose the hosting location would definitely bring about much stability in the game.

One of the game developers was quick to reply to the pro’s tweet. The dev stated that a custom game hosting location will come soon for Valorant.

With all that said, the Ignition Series is going on a good note, with players and teams putting in their best efforts. The changes suggested by M1xwell will surely bring in some new dynamics to the game that will benefit the majority.
