Riot to rebuild VALORANT Champions Shanghai desks after tracing mouse and input issues

Players at VALORANT Champions Shanghai reported having tech issues during matches for the first two days. The issue was related to their mice having input problems, which interrupted their matches.

Riot Games has identified the cause, saying the issue happened due to specific metal components used in the tournament desks. Those materials created interference with players’ peripherals, causing tech pauses and broadcast delays during the opening matches.
