Alternates
VDO.ninja can be fully utilized for video and audio in replacement of Discord visual and audio software.
VoiceMeeter can be replaced with OBS Application Audio Beta (now included in OBS) or simply capturing Desktop audio, albeit with less control over audio routing and balancing.
Google Sheets and Sheets.io are not required to manually set text labels, but using the same text labels + extents for common labels are recommended. This way, changing a text label in OBS in one place (like a team name) will change in all places, and text extents will ensure that the text labels fit in the same position and scaling.
Elgato Stream Deck software can be replaced with alternate macro-based software, which relies on OBS websockets (now included with OBS). A good alternate is Macro Deck. You can also go without macro-based software; it would require you to alt-tab out of VALORANT to change scenes.
Other streaming software can be used, but instant-replay.lua and OBS websockets most likely cannot be used with it.
