This collection focuses on tweets scraped during the game's beta period, which concluded in June 2020 [1]. It includes tweets from official VALORANT Twitter accounts (@playVALORANT and @ValorantUpdates) and tweets that mention these accounts or relevant hashtags such as #VALORANT, #playVALORANT, or #ValorantUpdates [1]. The dataset is valuable for understanding public sentiment, social media engagement, and the discussion surrounding the game during its early stages.
