Valorant: Pearl Map Guide
Pearl is the eighth map in Valorant and this one is based around Lisbon, Portugal within the Omega Earth. Much like every other map released, Riot has done a fantastic job in making the map feel new and unique. This time around, the developers have decided to go with a plain map design.

Valorant's maps are known for their unique features ranging from Teleporters on Bind to Ropeways on Split, Icebox, etc. But this time, they have decided to take a simple approach with a minimalist map design. This also means that Pearl arguably requires the most strategy out of any other map. The sites aren't particularly easy to breach, but at the same time, they aren't easy to retake either.
Callouts are the most important aspect of this strategically oriented game. Each map has a bunch of places an enemy can be, and you need to know the universal term for that area so you can efficiently relay the enemy's location to your teammates. Hence, learning the callouts for the new map becomes a priority if you desire to play that map in Competitive.
The layout for A Site is very interesting as the site itself has a lot of openings. Among the two sites, this is definitely the easier one to attack for planting the spike. There are a bunch of corners in Dugout, Secret, Flowers, A Link, etc. where a player can camp and turn the game around in some situations.
There is a window between Fowers and Secret that can deal a devastating blow if the timing is correct. The site feels open and closed quarters at the same time because of the multiple places you have to take care of as a defender.
The underwater city called Pearl has one of the scariest B Sites in the entire game, at least for attackers.
