what does that have to with the low numbers . are you saying that riot THEMSELVES didnt allow the crowd to fill up so that covid doesnt spread?

It's nothing lol

3k is nothing

Expected from Riot, they don't know how to organize events, should've taken example of PGL or ESL

I don't like any of that dancing and singing, entertainment for kids

I see that Copenhagen arena will only have 1000 people attending for Friday, 2000 for Saturday and 2500 for Sunday
It's miserable statistics compared to CSGO, for example

To be fair, the people who organize LoL events aren't the same people who organize VCT events.

I mean they chose Copenhagen so braindead If they think Danish people will watch Valorant. In Europe, If they want to sell ticket, I must be western EU countries or TUrkish. https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=%2Fm%2F0h3pv2z,%2Fg%2F11j8wvrz8z

Europe is very right wing and anti-vax due to poor education so rito can't trust a full audience.

That's because valve doesn't care bruv, they don't care if people die as long as they have the screaming apes yelling in the background after a mediocre twistzz 1v3 KEK!

This is such random article

At least 1/3 of people in the world have already had covid, most just don't feel it, it's nothing serious

pretty sure that's backwards, most of Europe did pretty well against COVID compared to the US. the stadium only has ~3000 seats, and for the first LAN with an audience that's not too bad.

idk what the age distribution of people who play Valorant is, but i’d imagine that the average age of people who are more invested in VCT is considerably higher (early 20s or something idk), so it’s possible that the 5pm Friday start time for the first match might discourage anyone who has a job or summer program from attending, especially when you account for travel. at least the grand final is looking pretty good rn, hopefully they can sell the rest in the next 5 days

It’s Denmark lol… That’s basically CSGO World. If they chose Korea, Japan, Brazil, US, UK, etc. Sold out fairly quickly.

But, Russia/Ukraine & Covid restrictions kinda fucked everything. Turkey will be a sold out event though.

A grand final between Optic and Fnatic in London would probably sell out or at least fill 80% of the seats. But yeah Copenhagen wasn't the smartest choice

Bro I'm actually so confused like they haven't make any official announcement or anything.
Like what are they trying to do with this event ? Test like a crowd production lan ? Because with that small number that's how it seem .
How will future Master be ? Lan crowds this small or is this the best they can manage with their short time ...
