Day 1 and 2 of Valorant APAC LCQ Plagued by Production Issues
Day 1 and 2 of the Valorant Champions Tour (VCT) 2021: APAC Last Chance Qualifier (LCQ) was plagued by production issues.
Faced with the gargantuan task of facilitating a tournament featuring multiple regions (Southeast Asia, South Korea, Japan, and South Asia), the live broadcast of the VCT APAC LCQ was unfortunately pestered with production issues.
A mod explains after the match between FULL SENSE and REJECT lost audio (Day 2 of APAC LCQ)
From delayed matches, observer lapses, missing audios, and more, reactions from the viewers have been varied.
Some had been hilarious.

I didn’t expect things to get worse and really wished for the best, but somehow it’s still happening.

Some showed their frustrations.
Can someone please save #VALORANTLCQ APAC? Muted casters, loud bgm, muted ingame sounds, missing kill cams and so on… 🥲

While others have been more critical with their feedback.
Honestly, I’m not surprised with how much of a mess today has been with the lack of communication + we couldn’t even get a proper rehearsal on the PH side while waiting on the main stream…
Hoping for a better LCQ tomorrow because the talents are going above and beyond to carry.

also please, organizers – whoever you are:
OBSERVERS ARE ARGUABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF A BROADCAST.
the sooner we realize this the better.
please.
