Prepare to be disappointed !!!

Barely 24 hours to the first ever LAN event and the arena is still 50% unsold

Plz Riot do some witchcraft. Heck just give away the tickets for free. At least we'll be spared the embarassment !!!!

Controlled by the staff, every time someone wins a round the seats vibrate and increase in height making it look like the crowd got up to cheer or holographic people

Crowd makes the game 100x more hype

Also wouldn't it be embarrassing for an esport to have half capacity crowd at its 1st LAN in 2 years

The arena already not meant for big crowds even if it did sold out. I think ppl really overreacting, riot probably just using this event to test interests and how to handle crowds for future events.

Bro do u even know who riot games is 💀
They have organised the most hype, most expensive LAN events in the past
They don't need any testing. I think they either just fucked up with the location or they have something planned to somehow fill up the seats

It's not like the they're unfamiliar with tactical fps fans lol. You think running a moba esports and fps esports the same thing ? It's clearly different and the fanbase as well as the production of content is different. Look at the music videos and styles riot release for league and compared it to valorant. You're brain dead If u think they can copy paste what they did in LoL and apply it to valorant. 💀

They didn't fuck up locations they needed a place where covid and travel restrictions for all teams are not bad EU is basically the best option which is why they previously opted for Iceland and now trying new locations.

Valorant just really not good in EU as fanbase mainly play cs. The best place they could have held this is in turkey which they do for champions. Thing is they really need to announce tickets way earlier.

Bro lets be realistic. CSGO has had 20 fucking years to build up to where it is now. The rate of Valorant's progress has been so much faster and I'm sure we'll see events just as hype and packed as CS within 5 years.
