Karmine Corp, Nongshim and a spoiler shield in Shanghai's group stage

The newest full-day replay from VALORANT Champions passed a million views in thirteen hours, and its title leaves out which day it is.

The most liked comment under the newest full replay from VALORANT Champions Shanghai is a spoiler shield: a row of emoji standing guard so that anyone who has not watched yet can scroll past without learning a result. The timestamp waits in the replies.

The video, simply titled "VALORANT Champions Shanghai — Group Stage", went up on October 3 and passed a million views in its first thirteen hours, the same kind of start the Day 6 and Day 7 replays had, as we reported here. One commenter grumbles that this one carries no day number, which makes the run of replays harder to find later.

The channel's clips from the same day show what is inside. Karmine Corp against Nongshim RedForce got its own highlights video. One short shows G2's Trent winning a map against the odds, and another follows the veteran Rb through a clutch billed as impossible. It is all part of the world championship that, the description says, runs from September 24 to October 18 with sixteen teams from the Americas, China, EMEA and the Pacific.

In the comments, much of the talk is about Europe's teams. Several viewers are saying goodbye to Karmine Corp, another one counts how many European sides are still standing, and one sees another Americas-Pacific final taking shape. Another viewer points to a spot nearly six hours into the broadcast for the score, which says something about how long a group-stage day in Shanghai runs.
