I've got a question to ask. Is there a suitable place in Tokyo or Osaka metropolitan area where rito can hold a regular season VCT every week? Afaik esports venues or esports-capabale stadiums in Japan are either too small considering it's an International League and the popularity of valo in Japan or too big for a regular season. What I have in mind as a suitable size of the venue is a couple hundreads, upwards to around 500 seats. Can anyone confirm or deny?

Like what Ovelord said, there's lots of them but they only lurk cause of bad english (and only visits this site for results) and the ones who are mostly active on this site is ethnically a korean but is living in another state/country like me

so do you want it to be big or small. you say venues are too small and valorant is big in Japan but then you ask for arenas that seat a couple hundred?

Even if the esport itself is big, having a 1000+ seat venue for that will not garauntee a sellout. LEC studio has less than 200 seats for example.

not Japanese but I live here. They've had some LAN events here, I remember in May there was one in Tokyo Garden Theatre. Also been to a tonne of different concerts and stuff in Tokyo Dome, Ultra recently in Odaiba too. I don't see why they can't. It's a big metropolitan like any other there are a tonne of places.

Those are exactly the "too big" venues. I'm talking about a place where matches can be held multiple times a week, every week during a regular split and have a solid audience attendance. Maybe it could work with venues with more than 500 seats, even 1000+ but I'm not sure if selling out that much seats is possible not on the playoffs or finals.

and bruh how are you forgetting the live event at Saitama Super Arena, there were some 13k viewers, and that place can definitely hold like 30k plus
This was only the LCQ as well

Fortunately I didn't forget anything. Live event in Saitama was not something that happens multiple times a week, every week, for the whole split, as I've mentione above. Also it wasn't just a LCQ but playoffs including finals wasn't it?
