"100K!": Days after receiving backlash, Disguised Toast's Game Changers Valorant team DSG is lauded by fans for increasing viewership

The backlash received by Disguised Toast for his roster selection for the DSG VCT Game Changers Valorant team has turned into high praise from fans and management as the tournament's viewership skyrocketed during their first match today. The star-packed DSG roster boasts highly popular streamers such as Kyedae and QuarterJade, a decision that drew criticism from the competitive community who felt left out due to the inclusion of content creators in a VCT team. However, fans have rallied behind the team as the combined peak concurrent viewership of the Game Changers Open Qualifiers crossed the 100K mark.Even the Head of Valorant League management for North America Derek Dennis has confirmed the same, calling the milestone &quot;amazing&quot; in a tweet:&quot;[Pretty] sure our peak combined across all channels cleared 100k! Exciting stuff!&quot;Derek Dennis@RiotIceChest@sapphiReGG @EsportsDoug @Disguised P sure our peak combined across all channels cleared 100k!
