valab turns VALORANT .vrf replay files into browser playback, scouting reports, heatmaps, and statistics.
What valab is
valab turns VALORANT .vrf replay files into browser playback, scouting reports, heatmaps, and statistics. Its viewer maps all ten players and shows view angles, health, weapons, credits, abilities, and round events. Reports can focus on you, teammates, or opponents and draw on uploaded matches featuring each player. Analysis includes opening duels, trades, clutches, headshot rates by weapon and range, and round impact. Regularly queued teammates are grouped automatically, while named stacks can be reviewed together. valab reads replay data rather than estimating from video or using a stats API. It cannot show information that the game did not send to the client, including enemy views outside your line of sight or voice communications. Replay builds are checked against verified versions, and unrecognized builds are flagged. Uploads and reports are private to the account; original files are deleted after processing, while processed match data remains until removed. No installation is required.

Who it suits
valab suits VALORANT players who want to review replay files, study player performance, or analyze teammates and opponents. It works in a browser and offers a local inspector that does not upload or store a replay.
Verdict
