Only two days after their Masters championship win sweeping FaZe Clan, the North American organisation posted to Twitter really convincing screen grabs of what seemed to be in-game billboards, banners and posters commemorating the title.<\/p>\n

With the caption “New update. Never looked better”, we ought to believe the words that come out of the champions’ mouth, right? Wrong.<\/p>\n

Mere minutes later, Sentinels took back their words replying to their original tweet stating that “these aren’t in-game”, only to tease the @ValorantEsports Twitter account<\/a> asking for the banners to become a real thing.<\/p>\n

While the announcement did break hearts all over Twitter, it definitely isn’t as easy as just designing two or three formats and upload them to the ever-changing banners’ placeholder.<\/p>\n

The esports scene is a fast-paced one, to say the least, and although the promotional spaces such as banners, posters, billboards and such all across gaming titles are used for real-life sponsors or in-game advertising, there are many factors that weigh in even if it’s to add a few graphics here or there.<\/p>\n

We would love to see something like this implemented in our favourite titles, especially to commemorate professional esport athletes putting in the hours, sweat and tears for our entertainment — but maybe on an S-tier level tournament for an S-tier level champion.<\/p>\n
