A Chinese groom had to clutch a win against his bride in Riot Games' tactical hero shooter Valorant before being permitted to proceed to their wedding ceremony. The competitive showdown put the entire wedding schedule on the line across a set of custom lobbies.
Traditional Chinese wedding customs dictate that a prospective groom and his groomsmen must pass a series of playful door game trials arranged by the bride and her bridesmaids to earn entry. Because the newlyweds frequently queue up together during their spare time, the bridal party opted for an outright digital shootout over physical parlor tricks.
The groom managed to secure the win alongside his squad, granting him clearance to whisk his partner away to the formal vows without suffering a demotion. If you ever thought solo queuing in ranked lobbies was stressful, try defusing spikes when your actual marriage hangs in the balance.
