100T vs. VIT — VALORANT Champions Shanghai — Lower Final

The most-liked comments under the 100 Thieves-Vitality replay aren't match analysis. They're spoiler shields, posted to keep the result out of sight for anyone arriving to watch the lower final without knowing how it ends.

The broadcast has drawn roughly 1.4 million views in its opening 16 hours, far beyond the VALORANT Champions Tour channel's usual start for a long broadcast. This is the full lower-final replay, not a highlights package: the route to Shanghai's remaining grand-final spot, with elimination on the other side.

For viewers who do want the outcome, the channel's grand-finals film confirms it: Vitality advances to face LOUD. That sets up another meeting between teams that have already traded wins in Shanghai. Vitality took their first encounter, while LOUD secured its grand-final place in the upper final.

Under the replay, viewers also ask about the use of two smoke-providing agents and a player's crosshair settings, the practical details that sit alongside the tournament stakes.

Elsewhere on the channel, the showmatch supplies a lighter companion to the elimination match. Shorts featuring Athena's team communications and an outnumbered clutch are also drawing unusually strong starts, letting viewers hear the calls behind the plays.
