Twitch decided to put an end to Valorant's 24-hour streamers


Some streamers tried to bypass Valorant's beta invitations bypass, but the Twitch crew didn't like it.

Valorant is a free shooter of League of Legends creators who has been playing a lot in recent days. It is in closed beta, so its access is only enabled by watching streamers playing that Riot Games title. Initially, only prominent broadcasters had the option of allowing viewers to gain access to the aforementioned FPS game, while other mortals were later allowed to do so.

The problem arose when certain streamers stopped uploading, but still left the stream and content streaming live that day. So their channels on Twitch were active for 24 hours and very likely received more Valorant keys, and therefore viewers. One would think this is a good deed, but not the people who run Twitch. The well-known live streaming platform has decided to end this action.

Twitch has decided to update its community-specific guidance. This kind of live streaming - without the presence of a streamer, is now banned. All those who continue to do things like this will simply not be given the opportunity to share the keys they need to access Valorant. Given that Riot's video game has been the most watched on Twitch in the past few weeks, the new rule will allow the same thing not to happen to some future titles.
