VCT Stage 1 Masters NA
Perhaps the most interesting region was North America, where Sentinels clashed with FaZe Clan in the grand finals. Mere days before the event Sentinels suspended Jay "sinatraa" Won due to sexual allegations and quickly found a stand-in with Tyson "TenZ" Ngo.
The grand final ofVCT Stage 1 Masters in North America didn't really go as many of us expect. Instead of a contested series, we were presented with a complete stomp.
Despite playing with a stand-in, Sentinels proved they're the best team in the region. They completely demolished any hope in FaZe, taking the series 3:0.
Record Viewership in the NA Region
The number of viewers during the grand finals in the NA region reached almost 300,000 viewers and many of them were coming directly from some of the most popular Valorant streamers.

Valorant's launch was closely tied with Twitch, as anyone who wanted to take part in the beta had to watch streams for the chance to get a key. Almost a year later, the streaming platform and its influencers are a great source to promote the Valorant viewership.
