The Mysterious Theory in Valorant: If They Come A, Next Round They Come B
Every Valorant player has experienced this phenomenon at some point: the enemy team rushes Site A one round, only to hit Site B the next. It’s as if they have an unwritten rule to alternate sites, making it impossible to predict their movements. This strange, almost supernatural occurrence has given rise to what some call the Mysterious Theory in Valorant.
The Essence of the Mysterious Theory
The Mysterious Theory is a simple yet frustrating concept: if the enemy attacks A one round, they will go B the next, and vice versa. This pattern creates the illusion that the game is actively working against you, making site defense feel like an impossible guessing game.
Possible Explanations
While the theory may sound like pure superstition, there are a few logical explanations behind this frustrating trend:
Mind Games and Patterns – Experienced players and IGLs (In-Game Leaders) often follow a strategic rotation to avoid predictability. Alternating sites can make it harder for defenders to anticipate their next move.
Sound Cues and Information Gathering – In Valorant, noise is everything. If the enemy team senses defenders stacking the previous site, they may instinctively switch sites to catch the defenders off guard.
Statistical Coincidence – Sometimes, it’s just bad luck. With only two major bomb sites (excluding maps with three sites like Haven), the attacker's choice often appears to follow a pattern when, in reality, it is random.
The Observer Effect – Defenders often adjust their setups when they think they’re being read. Attackers might pick up on these rotations and exploit them, making it seem as if they always switch sites.
How to Outsmart the Mysterious Theory
While you can’t predict the enemy team’s every move, you can take steps to counteract this phenomenon:
Play for Information – Use recon abilities like Sova’s drone, Fade’s prowlers, or Cypher’s cameras to gather intel before overcommitting to a site.
Fake Rotations – Move as if you’re rotating but leave someone behind to anchor and call out enemy movements.
Mix Up Your Setup – Avoid predictable patterns. Change positions, play off-site, or use aggressive peeks to keep the enemy guessing.
Trust Your Instincts (But Not Too Much) – While intuition can be helpful, don’t overthink and second-guess yourself into making poor rotations.
Conclusion
The Mysterious Theory is a humorous yet all-too-relatable experience for Valorant players. While it might seem like the enemy team is following an A-B-A-B pattern, the reality often comes down to strategy, information gathering, and sheer coincidence. By staying adaptable and unpredictable, you can turn the tables and make the enemy team feel like they’re the ones being mind-read instead.
