Recently, the hottest eSports event that has swept major live streaming platforms is undoubtedly the "VALORANT Champions 2023" that has just ended.

First, let's talk about the atmosphere at the venue, I say it is "the Super Bowl of eSports".

Although I have been to many offline matches before and had a psychological expectation of the VALORANT Champions, knowing that this game is extremely popular, I still felt a bit shocked.

The venue this time is the KIA Forum Sports Center, which used to be the home stadium of the Lakers, and it can easily accommodate tens of thousands of people. However, the site was still full, with a seating rate estimated to be 99%, and even the "mountaintop" seats were crowded with people.

Even the hotspot making machine Elon Musk came.

It is said that this man is a fan of Demon1 from the championship team EG this year, and he came to cheer for the finals.

Matching the scale of this event is the performance and gameplay of the VALORANT Champions.

Especially the explosive device that exploded and triggered the countdown, followed by the theme song of 2021 "Die For You" and "Ticking Away", I would say it is the best opening ceremony of eSports in recent years.

During the competition, the mini-map of the current round was displayed in the center of the stage, connecting the players on both sides.

The various stage effects and lighting effects make the live viewing experience excellent.

In addition, each viewer will also wear a remote control bracelet.

This bracelet is synced with the in-game explosive device. When the explosive device is about to explode or be dismantled, it will have different effects. Especially when the entire arena flashes red for a few seconds, everyone is nervous together.

It has to be said that Riot Games has done a great job in the operation of eSports events.

To start with, let me give a brief introduction to friends who are not familiar with this.

This VALORANT Champions is equivalent to the League of Legends S Championship (World Finals) if we find a corresponding event. It is led by Riot Games and then selects teams from around the world who have won qualifications through local leagues to ultimately determine a world champion team.

The gold content goes without saying, basically it is the highest honor of Valorant.

This year's final was a duel between the number one seed team EG from the Americas and the number one seed team PRX from Singapore.
