Nadeshot excited about Valorant
Riot Games invited certain high-profile streamers in to test out the game. They were allowed to record their sessions but can release it for public viewing only on the 3rd of April.
One among the select streamers was Nadeshot, who commands a lot of respect and admiration from the gaming community. With over 3.2 million YouTube and 1.2 million Twitch followers, his opinion goes a long way.
Moreover, he is also the founder, and co-owner of the eSports team, 100 Thieves, so it’s safe to say, his opinion carries a lot of weight.

If Nadeshot says he is excited, you can expect the title to be so. Of course, most of us will have to wait for the game to release to the wider public. Until then, we will have to rely on the opinion of elite gamers like Nadeshot.
Another popular streamer, Saqib “Lirik” Zahid too got his chance to play the game. Going into the playtest, he was hoping to play a character named “Jett” and he got his wish.

“For now, space is limited to players in Europe, Canada, United States, Turkey, Russia, and CIS countries. The plan is to roll out to more regions, if possible, pending the volatile logistics of launching a beta effectively during a global pandemic.”
The game will release this year, so we won’t have to wait all too long to finally get on it.
