valorant, a tactical shooter, entered into closed beta last Tuesday with an explosively popular launch. The launch was linked to watching popular streamers on Twitch. The beta was inspired by Valve’s Counter-Strike: Global offensive and Blizzard’s Overwatch.
valorant broke the single-day watch record with 34 million hours watched. It also came in second behind only riot’s 2019 league of Legends world championship.
