Valorant Champions will be Valorant's final and biggest event in 2021. Teams around the world who couldn't qualify for Champions will have their last chance to win the major tournament of the 4 Last Chance Qualifiers.
The winner of this qualifier will earn a direct spot in the year-end Valorant Major, Valiant Champions. This tournament will feature teams that have just fallen short in home run points in North America. 8 top NA teams competed in this tournament.
NA LCQ is the very first Valorant LAN event in North America and honestly, this event is a mess. On the very first day of the event, almost all players who participated in the event have problems, if not a lot.
The very first thing players noticed on stage is that this so-called LAN event is hosted on California servers and not LAN (local area network) servers. In LAN servers, players always get 0 ping, which means absolutely no network lag or lag. While players are playing on the California public server, should we even call it a "LAN event"?
According to 100 Thieves player Hiko, this event doesn't even look like a LAN. He tweeted, “We play this LAN on online servers and it feels weird not being on LAN servers with 0 ping :(“
Another big issue with this event is that players were disconnected left, right, and center. We have almost seen some form of network issue in almost every card. These small disconnects affect the game and the series exponentially. According to viewers and players, the event administrators also handled disconnections very poorly.
Another huge mishandled admin issue was reported by Cloud9 player Blue Vanity, As the Gen.G coach was not present on the local network site, but he was still allowed to access the location. distance training. It's really unpredictable and it really hurts competitive integrity.
