VALORANT hits worrying benchmark at VCT Masters Copenhagen with record-low viewership

Despite being the first VALORANT event in front of a live audience, VCT Masters Copenhagen didn’t celebrate the success fans might’ve thought.

The live crowd at Forum Copenhagen was intense and marked an important milestone for Riot Games’ FPS, but its online broadcast of the event peaked at 786,185 for the grand finals between the champions FunPlus Phoenix and Paper Rex, according to Esports Charts. The peak viewership figure is the worst in the history of international VALORANT tournaments to date.
