On January 26, the organizers warned they'd have to switch to CS2 if nobody signs up. Despite its open nature, they received zero signups. "Valorant is not dead." assured the announcement post.

I didn't see it in the article, but when was the tournament supposed to be held? If it was during one of the Valorant majors or something, maybe that's why?

I don't follow Val very closely (love Boaster tho), but I thought it had a pretty active circuit.

Edit: Per the link you're replying to, the tournament is scheduled for March 15-17. Valorant Masters Madrid is that week. That's probably why.
