Having witnessed China’s successful playoffs, C0M’s father from Leviatán had some strong words for Riot Games’ production of Valorant in VCT Americas.
PapaC0M gained recognition in the Valorant esports community when his son achieved victory in the 2023 Champions tournament and subsequently joined the Latin America organization in 2024.
Despite regularly expressing his thoughts on the game through posts on X, he continues to support his son’s competitive journey. However, his recent remarks have brought attention to Riot, urging them to improve their production for VCT Americas.
In 2024, VCT China joined the franchise industry and has rapidly gained a large following. This was evident from the images shared by the official X account, showcasing a crowded venue during the final playoff games.
“PapaC0M responded to the post by saying, “I want this for the Americas region.”He also added, “Holy, Americas needs to step it up…just sayin.”

Despite Riot’s initial plans to rebrand the LCS Studio as the Riot Games Arena in preparation for Valorant franchising, there has been a lack of effort in promoting the upcoming VCT Americas playoffs.
Up to this point, the Riot Games Arena has hosted playoff games regardless of their significance, including those leading up to global competitions such as Masters Madrid and Shanghai.
In China, Riot has gone above and beyond for the playoffs, with a grand stadium and exceptional production to highlight the competing teams. PapaC0M was not alone in anticipating that the VCT Americas would meet expectations.
One commenter responded, “It’s about time someone addressed this issue. I highly recommend checking out VCT Pacific’s content, it’s also incredible. It will make you see just how far behind VCT Americas is.”
This year, Riot has implemented a live watch party in New York City for the VCT Americas grand finals. Nonetheless, the official in-person matches will continue to take place at the same studio as the previous matches.
