Since the launch of Valorant closed beta and the possibility to get an access via Twitch drops, many channels don't hesitate to broadcast reruns claiming to be "live." This practice is disapproved by Twitch but allows those who do so to get nice statistics.
For viewers, all they have to do is launch the live, go off to do something, and hope to get a beta access. After several weeks of abuse, the streaming giant owned by Amazon could now take the problem head-on.
Twitch's tweet — widely relayed with more than 2.3k retweets and 29.6k likes in 13 hours — is also praised by professionals. In the responses, we can find Yassuo or summit1g who had recently made a point of saying what he considered to be "the fakest section on Twitch!"
If the giving beta through Twitch drops was an innovative and successful move, it still gives rise to some abuses for the past few weeks. For example, Riot Games had to act on beta access sales by banning accounts acquired by bots or traded.
Since the huge figures of the closed beta launch with more than one million viewers in Twitch, the average "spectator" for the Valorant category remains very high almost permanently.
