Valorant immediately became a Twitch hit. The simultaneous number of users on its broadcasts amounted to 1,727,481 on the first day. The game failed to catch up with League of Legends (in 2019 its record was 1,776,075), but was able to overtake Fortnite with a record of 1.69 million viewers, the Dexerto portal reports.
Most likely, this situation arose because many people are now in quarantine and Riot has implemented a competent marketing policy.
