There’s been a lot of talk recently in the league esports community about streaming scrims after Caedrel’s team los ratones has been streaming there’s. Bwipo who is on the best NA team in league has also advocated for it.
Do you guys think this will come to valorant?
Do you think there’s something fundamentally different with the Tac FPS genre and the MOBA genre that would make it not possible in Valorant?
That may be true, but it’s important to realize that the team scrimming already knows what you’re doing. They just don’t know the comms behind the decision.
Most teams are likely paying analysts to analyze these various aspects, like what makes a team rotate (etc.).
It seems like a genuinely good way to engage with fans and grow a scene while revealing only what most teams already know.
Also, it’s not like you have to stream every scrim, so you could still practice things in secret if you wanted to.
I mean, you wouldn’t have to scrim every game.
Also I think it’s worth considering that Flyquest, the best team in LTA or whatever it’s called now, was also a proponent of streaming.
They don’t stand to gain anything from it, but I think it’s worth considering that they think the community engagement is worth more than revealing any of their strats.
To me it should be a decision that take Riot. A team deciding to stream stream would be sucide so none will do it BUT, if Riot says that now everyone need to stream their scrim, then everyone would be on, an equal foot and we would have mush more content to see for not more travail. So even if that would be a gamechanger it might be an absolute win for Riot and team
Allowing is not what that should be do. Saying team have to choose just mean some team will do it, and some team will not, and the latter will have an advantage. Either no one should stream scrim, either everyone should be forced to do it. The first one is the stauts quo, the second one would give us more content but change absolutely everything
