Twitter reacts to Valorant denying Quan the right to stream Valorant Masters Stage 1
Fans are unhappy with Riot Games’ decision to deny Quan but allowing big streamers the right to stream. Others deemed it a bit unfair, as Pokimane in particular does not have any prior experience with first-person shooter games. Fans would have loved tuning to his stream, as he could have offered interesting insights regarding NA teams.

Riot Games should reconsider its decision and add pro player like Quan into the list. He has played at the highest level and has a record that will surely put him on the path of acquiring legendary status.
Champions like Dicey. He is more than a pro for the record.

The inclusion of Pokimane is not the problem, it is the exclusion of pro players that fans cannot digest.
