On Sunday evening, Polish fans of VALORANTA had every Christmas.

It took five maps to win. No wonder that with each successive board more and more people gathered for the transmission. At the peak of the finals, a record 1,089,068 was gathered on all broadcasts. This means that the Acend duel against Gambit Esports broke the previous VALORANT record, which belonged to the summer Masters tournament in Reykjavik. At that time, 1,085,850 viewers appeared on the broadcasts at their peak.
VALORANT Champions 2021 suyo as the crowning glory of the year in Riot Games. However, looking at how quickly the game gains popularity, more records can be expected next year.
Esport is doing great in 2021
VALORANT, however, is not the only esports game that has had a great time. Viewership records were also broken this year in professional League of Legends and CS: GO. This is in part because on each of these titles, the biggest tournaments were once again organized in a LAN environment.
