VALORANT ALLIED ESPORTS ODYSSEY: STREAM
Just like previous Ignition Series events, the Allied Esports Odyssey was going to be streamed on the official Valorant Twitch channel between August 11 to August 16. Round one’s matches kick off at 9:00 AM PST, 12:00 PM EST, 5:00 PM BST, 6:00 PM CEST. Aside from that, Allied Esports Odyssey have their own dedicated stream. While some of the big names competing at the event would likely stream their POV, there would be a slight delay between their stream and the official broadcast. The best place to watch the Allied Esports Odyssey event is on Allied Esports’ official Twitch channel. There, you would find live commentary from James Banks and Mitch “MitchMan” McBride.
For Allied Esports this event is a chance to really create a name in the Valorant scene as a top tournament organizer. Most of the other Ignition Series events have either been hosted by teams or tournament organizers which have experience putting on massive FPS tournaments. Allied Esports has a strong history, however in recent years it has not hosted too many massive events, the hope is that the company will be able to become a major player in the Valorant scene if the Odyssey event continues to be impressive.
