For some games (e.g. Mobile, Asian does play it frogger doesnt understand this) were actual S as in they are their own Majors moved here
for valorant im down with any (but for other games audience could be much much more into, e.g. the one frogger hates because he's italian)
They havent announce about this publicly yet, could be a trial and tried first on mobile then PC
well to each their own, at least something Asians are into it
We didnt commit crime doing that anyway
First Look at the "Spectator Mode" for Mobile version
https://x.com/AnakinJuegos/status/1925820776378212533
they have a built in UI that is similar to tournament UIs right in the game that it details player's economy, ultimate points and their status.
Unlike PC it would be just blank screen with no player bars on the side (and the tournament UI had to be requested or pay to Riot to use it)
Additionally, Custom lobbies in Mobile is now a server browser like Dota2 where you can browse rooms to join
THIS,
EPIC literally kililed SEA server, they added it around the time they start being free to play (it is before the Kevin Cube is a thing) then quietly dropped it saying low population
then they failed to get approval in China as well, game stuck in "Test" state with MTX disallowed for years until they gave up too. Leaving PUBG as the ONLY Sort of approved PC BRs in the country, neither APEX or COD ever gets one
CrossFire is a 2007 old CS1.6 clone made by a Korean company Smilegate, the game remains one of the most played games in China to this day with a Franchised League model like VCT but with no Tier 2.
It was a game that CS has never beat them in Internet Cafe numbers and it only took VALORANT couple years to finally beat them.
Apparently Smilegate has open up career jobs, for developing a sequel to the original CrossFire - https://careers.smilegate.com/apply/announce/view?seq=5568
There are two Korean Companies that is moving actively building a sequel of their top FPS after VALORANT beat them in numbers:
SmileGate with CrossFire 2
and recently NEXON announces a remake version of the original Sudden Attack, a game that's also beaten by VALORANT in Korean cafe numbers . - https://store.steampowered.com/app/3576070/Sudden_Attack_Zero_Point/
List of features that were currently present in the Mobile Private Test in China, features that isn't available on PC

One reason being the game was co-developed, with PUBG Mobile developers.
China and their esports would say otherwise

In the Mobile version, The way custom rooms work is now a Server Browser where you can actually browse a list of other people's custom room, you can see the status and all its room settings or even join it
Spectator Mode is also added, that includes an UI interface that contains player bar on the left and right, just like the one in VCT but instead they made it built-in into the game
It also appears that you can adjust the number of rounds required or limits what agents, guns, skills a player can use as well
Riot China & Tencent [drops a new trailer for VALORANT Mobile today - https://x.com/VALORANTLeaksEN/status/1922864645531906426 as a starting guide for players on what the game is. Actual beta starts next month
For starters, this game is co-developed with the PUBG MOBILE developers (a non riot studio), Mobile market is one of the biggest markets in Asia (specially China) which is normal that this isnt' really well known fact in the West.
Several details were mentioned in the trailer including
Matches in VALM is MR8 and not 13, so you win by reaching 8 rounds. This also applies to their ranked mode. One of complaints Wild Rift get back then is a match was too long for a mobile game standard.
Dedicated objective-based training sytem - https://x.com/subzidite2/status/1922914162012811434-
including its own training map, and a certificate when you completed tests
Their WeChat account has confirmed VALM will have Exclusive Maps, Skins, modes and contents to this version - https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Gq9ZHVuXkAAP66w?format=jpg&name=large
Not shown in trailer but the game recieved a new build that now adds a Custom Match system and its own Battle Pass, which wasnt there before
The game already have a replay system, but they are inaccurate and not synced up with what actually happen
Raze has two satchel in Mobile version - https://x.com/Egehanss1/status/1922691358910755011/photo/1
additionally Aim Assist is noticeably lowered in the new build
What liwus said, each team still had to fight their way to get qualify manually each game
Champions finals in Accor Arena of Bercy.
thats the Worlds 2019 Finals and BLAST CS Major venues
Appears to be held May 22-25, and has ACL Branding attached even after the actual ACL concluded
EWC accidentally list this qualifier, in the page for their Chess tournament
Most mobile games can detects emulator usage and can throw you into a separate queue against emulator users as well
Wild Rift (and MAC OS Valorant) currently runs something called "embed Vanguard" which closes after you close down the game so probably that
has reached 10,000,000 pre registers in just 48 hours, pretty very fast on compare with other Mobile Games having pre-regs in China.
and a built-in spectator UI like tournaments, Previous NDA test had no custom rooms so Mobile is just one step away from fully able to run tournaments at demand
After years of development, they have officially announced the Mobile version of the game
The game will be developed by TWO STUDIOS
Unlike Wild Rift where Riot develops almost entirely, this one is Half Riot and Half non-Riot
Since they got a non-Riot studio to work this basically meant different development features in the Mobile version that PC doesnt have, so far
Are the unique features of Mobile version
Beta Signups goes live first in China then Riot will look to expand outside them, China is one of the key mobile markets so they are last to get PC Version, but first to get Mobile Version
add Russians if Riot willing to re-add them so they can move on from a game called Standoff (and China if they moved on from CrossFire Mobile)
Good for you I mean people do have choices, some are more attracted to Mobile
China and SEA were more into it
(Nepal too tbh)
I'm more concern if Indian govt would strike their game with a ban again like the others
Their official weibo accidentally posted it earlier an hour ago but taken down quickly, there's a Tencent Games Showcase on Tuesday
The video reveals some footage of the Mobile version including some new contents, Mobile version would be developed together with Lightspeed, the PUBG Mobile developers with Pre-Register in China starting after the video's supposed dropping date (Either Monday or Tuesday)
the event is on April 22nd, Back in 2023 version of this showcase was also where Riot announces the Close Beta date for Chinese server of PC VALORANT as well.
That is if they get the game without Govt striking out those first, Chinese app did get banned a lot over there in the recent years due to the border tension
hope they really get to play the game
Their Douyin aka TikTok in China account got the verifed checkmark today
an account claims that the game will have its Final Test next month before launch
Just a day after the previous discovery of VALORANT Mobile's WeChat account - https://www.vlr.gg/post/4672910/val-mobile-news-recently
Today several more has been discovered.
Tencent & Riot is going at exceedingly quick pace on building up the game's announcement in China. Which is the biggest Mobile Market (while can also more than afford all the GPUs at the same time) out there
Douyin (TikTok in China)
Weibo, this display a banner that seems official
BiliBIli
Summary of accounts discovered so far
Tencent were very much quiet for the whole 2024 for comparision.
Tencent & Riot China has been quite on a pace in the past few months with preparing behind the scene things for VALORANT MOBILE
February: WeChat account has an update to refer to be accounts owned by Tencent
a Week ago: Tencent now agressively finding jobs for VALM, however "Social Manager" is recently added to job openings
Top 2 of ST1 qualifies directly, !remindme later
That sounds like BO1 ? (they would need 4 streams at same time to run 12 bo3s in a day lol)
btw if we Asian have won the last three
what would happen when the mobile version gets its own tournament series? (Tencent would love to push for one anyway)
The crossfire vibes (even better) that I wanted to see
indirectly but it does help a lot with LoL's recent marketing restart over the years, so their LoL team affects all the way to the VALORANT side locally here
incl. China numbers - Most watched masters according to Leo
So thats around 3.7M from Chinese platforms alone
while Chinese platforms uses Heat Index which factors in chat activities and giveaways on their platforms,
Companies such as Tencent/Valve can gain access to direct raw traffic numbers (which isnt used publicly by Chinese platforms)
not CN but someone following the scene often, PUBG and DOTA cause are due to declining growth in the game, PUBG has yet to get approval meant orgs cant invest much while in DOTA2 well LoL and HoK eclipsed them in every aspect
the U18 rule does affect a bit where in the past teams like to stack U18 players as academies but they seem to adapt from it fine
Last year a Viral News makes massive headlines here, you may have recognized in the past of this picture featuring a Korean Tekken player inhaling a Thai Herbal Inhaler called Hong Thai before playing a match
Much later today Riot took a step further out of that and reveals a collab with the Inhaler brand itself
wrapped in a VALORANT V25 branding, you can actually bought it at the Venue until the tournament ends.
It is, many of us here had issues on getting to optimal english (well, its not main language too) so yeah
Some wording in english may need a bit of rearrangement to get the full context in thai
thats kpop-influenced crowd for you
this is fine
its you problem
People are hungry for these kind of events, Thai has really never got a Host of a Major Global Tournament of a Major Esports title in this scsale ever since, The closest they are is always the Mobile or Korean F2P games
only the ESL ONE Bangkok that breaks this drought then Masters
My eyes are not deceiving
ok its just HUD
Probably, I think the game will announced sometime this year, people speculate it could be during the game anniversary month in June
Exactly Today, they quietly deactivates the old account and create a new one instead. Which is the first time there's been any sort of official movement of VALORANT Mobile in a pretty long while since the beta at the end of 2024, theres been radio silent since
