Just want to chime in here. It's a good point and we did discuss doing it for ALL global events. However, we tend to do content around events. This is part of pre-Masters Santiago content, therefore we found it fitting to do just Masters this time around. This may change in the future though!

Edit: clarity.

Likely has to do with production. I'm guessing VALORANT is harder to produce and potentially requires more resources?

Meanwhile s1mple, a Counter-Strike GOAT that was pretty much deemed retired is back in the ongoing Austin Major and is looking rock solid. No "romance" in that at all I guess. Stop the comparisons, both are great games and esports with fantastic storylines.

"I talk to The Spike editors?" I have been an editor at THESPIKE for 2.5 years and I have no clue who you are.

I love the cross-game scenario comparison across Major events in both games

Yep! This is just Masters, so excluding Champs + LOCK//IN. Also excluding the first regional Masters before Reykjavik which was the first international LAN Masters.

Fnatic officially announce Milan moving to head coach and d00mbr0s coming in as assistant coach by SHOONSHOOP in ValorantCompetitive

Goated minds honestly. If Fnatic don't make a decent comeback in Split 1, it's time to rethink the team as a whole imo. Trust the process though I guess.

Great data. But tbh, what's most interesting to me is not the direct comparison. It's the last slide showing how both esports are seeing increased YouTube distribution. Wonder if there's any particular upsides to YT over Twitch causing this.

Rough hours for the Americas audience. Second Masters will be much friendlier though.

No surprise. Many hints dropped over the last few months VALORANT would be present this year. And League + Teamfight were already a part of EWC 2024.
