How many more years will it take for VALORANT to get these types of venues for champs, I think they are amazing and really beautiful and add to the hype of the event as a whole.

I agree. The venue this time is worse than Masters Tokyo which shouldn't be the case considering that this is the biggest event of the year.

I agree wholeheartedly - but I there are a few reasons why the venue can't be that currently:

• valorant esports is extremely fresh compared to other legacy esport tourneys - but is already being affected by a noticeable drop in viewership (see Esports charts valorant)
• profit-wise I think valorant is relying mainly on the annual champions skin bundle - which makes a lot of money but not that much - other esports have a lot more streams of income
• ig not enough culture event-wise to hold the attention of larger audiences that comes with larger venues and larger prize pools, etc - like league has global pop artists, celebrities, and millions more fans to create the level of fan engagement to drive demand for larger venues - but for valorant esports attention is quite low - I've asked randos in my unrated what their fav esports team is and many don't even know anything about vct

the venue is the least concern when you have this NA library crowd, never host champions in NA again pls
