Team SoloMid vs 100 Thieves / First Strike: North America - NSG Closed Qualifier #1: Quarterfinals / Post-Match Discussion

I can't wait for Valorant to have better production talent. The observers and casters are not on the same level as CS:GO yet, and it affects the viewing experience. Just has been more amateur-feeling so far. Hopefully when qualifiers are done and actual First Strike starts, Riot steps it up and things are a bit better. I know it'll just take some time with the game being so young, but observing, analysts, and casting is such a huge part of esports - especially since Valorant is a bit more complex to watch as a game with all the different abilities compared to CS (though not as tough to watch as OW or MOBAs imo), the production talent needs to be top notch for viewers to get what's going on. And yeah we shouldn't be able to tell what teams the casters are fans of/supporting when listening to them cast a game - that's pretty basic.
