Glad to see the excitement around the next Agent news and tease but want to clarify two things:
✅️ We know the role for the 3rd Agent this year, just not sharing yet.
⛔️ The 3rd role is not a "new" role, like a bipedal tank or something. It's 1 of the 4 current ones.
Some important #VALORANT updates to keep an eye out for in December on the news side of things:
🥖Comprehensive preview of Chamber updates
🗒️ Beefy Patch Notes 5.12
🗺️ Latest on map rotations
🛠️ Smurf report
🧑🔬We investigate a certain VAL superstition
Phoenix PBE only!:

Sat and Mon queue times count as week 1, and you can only play up to 2 matches per week. So, you can play 1 on each day, or both on one day—but once you play two matches, your team is done for that week.
For all you PBE people:

ALT Three super hero figures are facing to the left of the image. The first is Invincible, standing in a yellow, blue, and black costume, slightly torn and very bloody. To his left is Rexsplode, in a fighting stance, red and yellow costume, and holding two charged stick-like objects in his hand, ready to throw. Flying above them both, at the top right corner of the image, is Atom Eve in a combat stance wearing a pink costume and cape. She has a circular saw blades made from energy in each hand. The background is a battle-torn depiction of the Chicago streets.
Only tweeting this in case my Patch 4.0 typo gets out there by accident:

Here's an update from the dev team on the next steps for the UI/UX update after some of the recent feedback about the current menu navigation.
TLDR; changes are iterative, will address some issues in the short term w/ Patch 5.10 bit.ly/3DXN3AQ
Finally, a news story about me.
Watching VAL grow since the Alpha and working among the elite dev and marketing teams was the shit, and I'd do it again.

Okay, lots of VCT updates today and a break from the action as we give our teams a breather. Let's get serious for a sec. My last three team presentations have referenced the world's most perfect pastry, Churros. We also had a churro truck at our team townhall.
Should we do this?
Hey, helped put together this piece on what @PlayVALORANT competitive mode and ranks will look like. I'll try and send your questions to the team.

Pitch me your most outrageous @PlayVALORANT weapon skin collab idea. 👇
For me it's with @TheRock , all geomorphic-shaped weapons, and the finisher is that you can smell what he's cooking through your monitor.
Just wanted to share a quick update that I'm now at @riotgames as part of the @PlayVALORANT communications team. I'm crazy excited to help launch this game. (Yes, we are working from home.)
S/O to @imdg, @carmendukes and @AJRathbun for their help along the way.
