    Metal desks nearly destroyed a Valorant tournament

    Custom metal desks at the Valorant Champions tournament in Shanghai interfered with wireless mouse signals, causing repeated tech pauses and forcing players to switch to wired mice. In a FUT Esports vs 100 Thieves match, player xeus could not fire; Riot said a round rollback should have been allowed but kept the match result. Riot believes the metal material may be the cause, and some mice without USB Type-C ports would need to be swapped entirely.

    Riot needed 2XKO to hit hundreds of thousands if not millions of players, which the author says doomed it from launch

    Riot expected 2XKO to reach "high hundreds of thousands, if not millions" of players, an expectation the author argues was impossible from launch. Using Street Fighter 6 as a benchmark, the author estimates from its 30,000 PC concurrent peak that even a generous reading puts its monthly active users barely above 500,000, while Guilty Gear: Strive peaks at 1,580 concurrent players over 24 hours. The author questions whether Riot misjudged the size of the fighting game market.
