What comes after the trophy lift? On VALORANT Champions Tour, Shanghai is being repackaged into smaller keepsakes: a memorable-moments countdown, LOUD's celebrations, Erde's dedication to his mom and Team Vitality's losing moment.

The new "Top 5 memorable moments from Shanghai 🔥 #valorantchampions #shorts #valorant #vct" is drawing the most daily views among the channel's active uploads. Vitality's final moment and Erde's dedication are also carrying momentum, giving the aftermath room for both sides of the result.

Across 15 uploads, the grand-final broadcast was the week's most-watched new release, reaching roughly 2.7 million views. Separate full-match and highlights uploads offer more direct routes to the action. The broadcast itself takes the scenic route: Goldenboy and Frankie welcome guests, TCK talks about Brazil's excitement, and Riot Games illustrator Su Ke explains the creative thinking behind Shanghai's key art and trophy. Before the match, the object everyone wants to lift gets its own introduction.

Viewers are discussing the opening ceremony, LOUD's unexpected run and echoes of the team's earlier Champions victory. Others leave a word of encouragement for Vitality.

The channel added about 10,000 subscribers over the week, although daily views are below their usual pace. In the nearby gaming-channel group, Google Play is enjoying stronger-than-usual daily viewing, while OpTic Gaming is quieter. For VALORANT Champions Tour, the freshest attention has shifted to Shanghai's compact retrospective rather than another complete replay.
