Clove's week two debut was delayed due to "a recently discovered bug," but they're all set to release VALORANT Patch 8.07, Riot Games announced last night. Day one of week three features two exciting matchups between Gentle Mates vs. Fnatic, and Karmine Corp vs. NAVI. The latter of the two matchups could very well feature Clove, specifically in the hands of the pro player many Rioters believed the new agent was tailor-made for.

When Clove was first revealed, VALORANT agent gameplay designer Dan Hardison revealed that several Rioters believed they were developing the agent specifically for Kyrylo “ANGE1” Karasov, winner of Masters Copenhagen 2022 and current in-game leader for NAVI. Hardison said the agent team wanted to create a controller that would suit more aggressive playstyles, as they felt those options were “limited outside of Omen.”
