Live events in a pandemic
Ultimate Gamer, summer 2020
The problem
In June 2020, live events had stopped. Ultimate Gamer still wanted a crowd-feel LAN. In my words
What I did
- A 3-day "studio experience" at Champions Bar in Doral, covered by WSVN 7News. Verified ↗ source (opens in new tab)
- Ultimate Gamer's first Valorant LAN, streamed for 30+ hours. Verified ↗ source (opens in new tab)
- In my words: the first LAN event ever to feature Valorant. In my words
"You beat them online, it's quiet, it's just you in your room. Out here you got the crowd, you got the guys yelling." Verified ↗ source (opens in new tab)
