Every Video Game has its own set of nomenclature/words based on its universe, and Valorant is no different from any. While most of the vocabulary in Valorant, like Spike, Defusal, or ADS, is self-explanatory, few words need an introduction and detailed explanation. One such regularly used word is Thrifty or Thrifty Round. A thrifty round is a situation in Valorant where a particular team has won against the other team by spending less credit/money compared to their overall purchase value.

For example, Let us assume there are two teams, A & B. If Team A has made an overall purchase of 20K during a round, and Team B still manages to beat them by spending less than 20K. Then that particular round will be considered a Thrifty round for Team B. Remember, it is simply a title award, and you won't receive any extra credits for the accomplishment.
