As with every game and community, Valorant has a lot of in-jokes and language. The vast majority of these have transferred across from other games or are just general gaming terms, but there are a few which are particularly unique to Valorant and you will definitely want to know what these are.

So the Team Ace can’t be bad at all. It actually shows that you have a great team of pretty equally skilled players. The term is used when every player of your team has killed one member of the opposition in the round. It means that you all killed someone and that you have a balanced result for that round.
What is Thrifty?
Being called Thrifty in the real world, would mean that you are great at using up resources and making the most of what you have. It means that you haven’t gone out and bought a brand-new gaming table when you had a perfectly good one at home that just needed a bit of a clean.
In Valorant, it’s got a pretty similar meaning. The Thrifty term is earned by a team who manages to win a round while spending less money than their opponents. The winning team has not wasted money on guns or ammo which wasn’t needed to win the battle and they have done it on the bare essentials.
