Zeroev

zeroev arrives through rising tides with fade as the clearest signature, a first appearance built around initiating rather than taking over. their role gives the team a way into contested space, and the willingness to handle that responsibility is the most immediate shape of their game.

the useful idea is still there: zeroev has chosen the part of valorant that starts fights and exposes information, with viper and tejo adding occasional flexibility. the difficulty is converting that setup work into enough pressure to change the map. this is an introduction to a player learning how much force an initiator must add after the first piece of utility lands. for now, the contribution is more functional than decisive, and that distinction matters.
