20s it's Anna again and we're here today
22s with a quick mid-year update it honestly
25s blows my mind that we're already halfway
27s through 2023 and what a start to the
29s year it's been watching you all engage
32s with the game since the launch of
33s episode 6 has been incredible quick
36s recap you've shown us lots of love for
38s Lotus Maids who have play one of our
40s most popular modes celebrated Fanatics
42s victory at lock-in and embraced Gecko
45s and his creatures as your own many of
48s you have also been swinging your Oni
49s katanas and blowing into those arcade
51s cartridges then let's not forget playing
53s in the premiere open Beta I gotta say
56s that revealing Gecko and Premiere in
58s person at lock-in was amazing we love
62s bringing the game and the sport even
63s closer together to create those types of
65s moments so we'll keep looking for ways
67s to do just that
69s so you might remember at the start of
70s the year we shared a preview of what
72s valorant had in store for 2023 we talked
74s Premiere promised you new ways to unlock
77s content oh and then there was that time
79s where I totally accidentally accept not
81s really accidentally leaked that we were
83s working on a new TDM style mode and now
86s having just hit three years of valorent
88s as a community it felt like a good
90s moment to not only celebrate three years
92s live but also to take a look at what's
94s next
