[Reviewing] valorant tourney

[wrap]

I think its save to say that a valorant tourney is must right now especially after the event we just had, sounds like a lot of people enjoyed it. or just more valorant scrims.

I don't think this is a bad idea but right now valorant's spectator/observer system is extremely buggy and poorly optimized making the experience horrible if streamed. If we were to have some sort of a scrim league similar to what we have with cs, I think it would be better to hold off until changes are made to the viewing system. Other than that more scrims would definitely be a lot of fun and also super easy to setup compared to cs.

This is something that is currently being discussed. Obviously any sort of tournament would have to wait until SGSL is over, but there are a couple of things that would prevent this from happening in the near future.

 

One main thing is that Valorant does not have a good system for observers. With any good tournament comes a good stream and good casters, and it would be near impossible to provide a good experience for the biewers when there's no way to coordinate spectating and action-spotting. There's currently no auto-director for spectating matches, which would lead to confusion.

 

We can definitely do more Valorant scrimmages in the future, as it's something that a lot of people would like to participate in, but I think we'll have to hold off on having a full-blown tournament for now.

Yeah, it's defiantly a topic of discussion for a Valorant scrim but it's a hard topic also. As you said Valorant's observer system is not that amazing. The Valorant Scrim event was streamed and if you look at the VOD I don't believe the system is too bad (

). Overall though, I think it's a good idea to at least do further Scrims and possibly even tournaments.

After watching the stream from the latest event, Id have to agree that the spectating is a little bit too buggy to do any sort of reliable stream for a tournament. However once they fix it, I think a tournament would be a great idea.

I believe even if we have a few tournaments happen anyway to gauge interest it wouldn't be a bad idea. Get a couple of practice runs in essentially

Responded in the other thread, but we're looking to make this happen in the near future.
