How many more years will it take for VALORANT to get these types of venues for champs, I think they are amazing and really beautiful and add to the hype of the event as a whole.

I agree. The venue this time is worse than Masters Tokyo which shouldn't be the case considering that this is the biggest event of the year.

I agree wholeheartedly - but I there are a few reasons why the venue can't be that currently:

• valorant esports is extremely fresh compared to other legacy esport tourneys - but is already being affected by a noticeable drop in viewership (see Esports charts valorant)
• profit-wise I think valorant is relying mainly on the annual champions skin bundle - which makes a lot of money but not that much - other esports have a lot more streams of income
• ig not enough culture event-wise to hold the attention of larger audiences that comes with larger venues and larger prize pools, etc - like league has global pop artists, celebrities, and millions more fans to create the level of fan engagement to drive demand for larger venues - but for valorant esports attention is quite low - I've asked randos in my unrated what their fav esports team is and many don't even know anything about vct

Val viewership declining cuz they wanna put up some boring Asian games on.
+we can't use timezones as an excuse yo it in America now

WE NEED ONLY NA VS EU TOURNAMENTS INCLUDING SENTINELS 100T NRG C9 EG GUARD FNC TL NAVI KOI KC BBL/FUT/HERETICS (the clout teams)

Na vs eu in 2021 is where the viewership and popularity started...

the venue is the least concern when you have this NA library crowd, never host champions in NA again pls

Yes I agree, we should give SEN, 100T, LOUD, ZETA, KOI and KC the spot and kick the rest so the viewership doesn't decline any further, like come on WTF is 842k peak in group stage?????? Other teams and competition shouldn't be there at all, after all who gives a shit about that
