Tokyo Game Times

I have gone through every major international tournament VALORANT has had, and they usually like to have their games at 5pm to 8pm the host cities time besides the LOCK//IN tournament. And If that is the case games for pst are going to start at 1am to 4am, est are going to start at 4am to 7am mdt will start at 2am and 5am, cdt will start at 3am to 6am, and for Brazil the latest games will start at 9am and earliest 3am. I’m Just wondering how it’s going to workout or are people in those regions just going to have to stay up late/wake up early.

Flip the situation for every other major Valorant event and that's how Asian viewers have felt over the years.

Have fun not sleeping!

Just set your alarm and watch the VODs. Sometimes it's fun to have the matches as background noisea to sleep tho!

But to add a bit more it's really how it has to work. Not just for time zone reasons but also for legal reasons, a lot of countries have restrictions on when people can work especially minors. Aswell if you have a live crowd it has to work around local time.

So we are going to completely ignore that this is the first ever international LAN in Asia, and fans are going to want to watch because they won’t have to wake up at 3 in the morning to watch games and be able to watch them after school or after work. Viewership is going to be crazy I promise

I was literally just wondering because Americas is a huge fan base and I have never been on the side of having to wake up early or stay up late for games but aight
