Valorant Gains Popularity in Japan

Historically, Japan’s Valorant community grew following the Masters Reykjavik earlier this year. With the Japanese squad ZETA Division creating a buzz during their run, a lot of attention from the country was hooked up.

Aside from their local team’s success, Riot is also fostering the game in the country through its projects. With its supposed efficiency in localized programs, the game’s popularity in the country augmented its viewerships.

Recently, RAGE spearheaded an All-Stars event where fans were given a chance to interact with some personalities. This has given fans an opportunity to enjoy the game even more.

As of this writing, Northeption is tasked to represent the country in the upcoming Masters event in Copenhagen. More so, should they manage to beat ZETA Division, the country’s viewership is expected to get even bigger.
