Tarik, Whose Viewership Dwarfs Valorant Official Twitch Channel, Tells What the Main Broadcast Misses- “…Has to Be Super Focused on the Nitty-Gritty of the Game”

One of the most celebrated contributors in the community casting leagues has been the developer Riot Games. From League of Legends to Valorant roaster tournaments, the developers have impressed audiences with their varied approaches. A recent eSports analysis breakdown the elements that made VCT 2023 a huge success. 

The Valorant Champions Tour 2023 has successfully garnered the attention of all eSports enthusiasts across the globe. The audience numbers of the tournament have already made it one of the biggest-ever gaming tournaments. The statistics suggest that American divisions are their biggest audience. While most of the fans associate the massive viewership with the elite names of streamers who participated in the league, a Valorant Pro from Sentinels expressed his thoughts on the tour’s aftermath. 

Tarik surpassed giant streamers and became the most popular Valorant community caster for VCT 2023 

The league had more than a 60% contribution by independent streamers making it the highest shared club for community casting. Tarik, a popular Valorant Pro from Sentinels, has proven to be the most significant individual streamer of the league. With around 9.4 million watch hours and a 136 thousand peak viewership, the streamer outperformed other Valorant legends like Kamet0 and Ibai. Also, the dedicated Valorant Twitch channel pulled off exceptional watch hours of more than three and a half million. 

Earlier the streamer was known for his CS: GO streams. But the latest analytics suggest that Tarik has become the new poster face of Valorant streams.

Talking about achieving this massive feat, the streamer spilled some beans on his approach in a candid interview. “The main broadcast – as good as it is – isn’t responding to chat, has to be super focused on the nitty-gritty of the game, and is pretty serious, it’s way more formal than I am”, the Sentinels pro said. 

Furthermore, the streamer talked about the broadcast channels. Tarik added, “When I co-stream I’m just trying to have a good time and call it like I see it…I don’t need to give anywhere near as informative a broadcast as the official channels do. I’m really just hanging out with the community, we’re way more relaxed and are looking for the entertainment of the event, not just hyper-analyzing the competition.”

After the ultimate success of VCT 2023, fans look forward to the next chapter in Matsers Tokyo. Undoubtedly, the Sentinels streamer’s numbers have only added to the hype of Valorant’s upcoming future in eSporting tournaments.
