Nerd Street runs highly popular OfflineTV VALORANT tournament

Last month, Nerd Street helped run one of the most popular VALORANT tournaments this year. Nerd Street was the tournament operator and broadcast producer for OfflineTV’s SoloQ VALORANT Invitational.

With some of the most popular streamers and pro VALORANT players taking part, the tournament has brought in over 3.5 million views across Twitch and YouTube videos and streams thus far. Most of the views occurred during the two-day tournament, but the views continue to climb as people have rewatched or discovered the event in the past couple weeks.
