Valorant has had one of the biggest game launches ever, especially if you count that in Twitch viewership, which has surpassed one million concurrent viewers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

A feat no doubt helped by the fact that to gain access to the closed beta you need to watch Valorant Twitch streams.<\/p>\n

Naturally, as more gamers have got their hands on a key and have started playing the game for themselves overall Twitch viewership has fallen.<\/p>\n

However, that hasn’t been the case for some streamers, who have used tactics that have come in for criticism, such as reruns and 24\/7 streams to keep the numbers up, a practice that Jaryd “Summit1g” Lazar describes as “legal view botting”<\/p>\n
