VALORANT Champions Shanghai — Playoffs Stage — Day 12
Day 12 kept going. The full broadcast of the Playoffs Stage at VALORANT Champions Shanghai had passed 1.3 million views about 13 hours after it went up, on a channel where a long replay or stream usually ends its first day nearer 35,000.
The most liked comment is not about a play at all. It is a spoiler shield, with timestamps tucked into its replies, so viewers who missed the live broadcast can jump straight to the matches without seeing a scoreline first. In a replay this long, that kind of courtesy matters.
Below it, one series gets most of the attention. Several viewers single out the final map between Nongshim and Vitality. One points to Nongshim's thrifties, the rounds a team wins on a cheap buy against opponents carrying full rifles. Another compares Vitality to Batman: give the team enough preparation time and enough footage of you, the argument goes, and it will find a way. A lockdown, Killjoy's area-sealing ultimate, gets its own praise. G2 comes up as the team spoiling a lot of people's bracket predictions, and one viewer calls the lower bracket a bloodbath.
The event, as the description sets it out, runs from September 24 to October 18, with sixteen teams from the Americas, China, EMEA and Pacific playing for the 2026 world title.
Around the long replay, the channel's Shorts have been telling the players' side of Shanghai. Jinggg receives a surprise message from his mother. Invy honors the sacrifices his mother made for his career. Asuna of 100 Thieves tries to guess a number, BABYBAY and valyn keep calm in a two-against-five clutch, and another Short lets viewers listen in on the comms behind a lockdown from Ivy.
