The song in the last cinematic was actually made for this by one of the main valorant players over on twitch. It's honestly really cool that he did it. The song is called Visions by eaJ. He is actually a really good music artist and streamer!
Funny detail about the third cinematic, that stuff happened before the second cinematic in the lore timeline, because Phoenix didn't speak about the dopplegangers in the second one and Yoru already knew how to defuse the Spike (the bomb), and in the third cinematic, Killjoy learns how to defuse, so basically, in the third one they learn about the other earth and how to defuse the bomb, and in the second one they fought the dopplegangers and defuse the Spike with the knowledge of the third one. About the last one, we usually see the agents from one universe, but in this cinematic we watch from the perspective of the other universe, the one they invaded in the other cinematic, with that underwater city and statues. The two agents doing Indiana Jones shit are from the original universe, and they went to the other one after entering that temple with their powers. Most of the story is in game, in the practice map, there we can read emails, hear audio messages that they send to one another, and some other stuff, this cinematics are like the "end" of those stories that we are reading and listening, the music videos are canon too, and the agent reveals too, they all complement the lore in general. Sorry for the bad english, im from Brazil, portuguese is my first language...
In the last Cinematic, the pair that was infiltrating the place were from the Alpha world which is the world of the Defenders on most maps, and the side we follow in the cinematics. The rest of them were from the Omega world who were "Activated" when they found out that these two were infiltrating because they were infiltrating the map "Lotus" in the Omega world.
12:39 Im sorry to say but Phoenix is one of the least played characters because all his abilities are short range and the game has changed too much for him to be relevant.
He still has a pretty high winrate. But then again, Yoru had the highest win rate in radiant a couple acts ago too, but only in radiant. So other factors could be in play like how Yoru is the meta in Pearl so Radiants only pick him when playing pearl.
In the game, you play as both sides. Half the match is you on the attacking stealing radianite side, then the 2nd half is you stopping the radianite steal (or vise-versa). There are also voicelines they have talking about their counter parts.
Lmao Val has been on top of the category for like a year or more now, because there's a lot of popular content creators that play it casually and that makes other people play at casually making it easily more popular than the more toxic League of Legends
That girl with a gadget on her back is Neon and yes that thing is a limiter to her power and having it broken unleashes her full potential just like Rock Lee losing his training weights. Definitely one of the most powerful agents coz she is a radiant or agents with super powers like Phoenix(dude with fire). They are OP in the story but not in game.
Yoru was cool when he first came out, then ended up being one of the worst agents in the game. After a couple small tweaks to his ability kit, he became one of the top and most problematic agents ever. He messes, especially with sound and vision.
