Riot Games should give us more integrated Valorant events next season

I feel it’s excessive time Riot Video games significantly considers organizing built-in Valorant occasions or combine All-Star competitions within the low season. We simply witnessed a banger VCT Sport Changers Ultimate between Staff Liquid Brazil and Shopify Revolt, and all through all the occasion a few of the most fun Valorant I’ve seen this 12 months.

I’ve little question in my thoughts a few of these GC athletes can dominate extra then half of the common VCT lobbies.

Hear me out..

VALORANT is prepared for extra built-in occasions

I haven’t given VALORANT Sport Changers the eye it deserves all through 2023. Final 12 months, the extent of competitors was lagging behind the VCT by a giant margin, and in consequence, I didn’t totally interact myself with the circuit this season.

Boy did i miss out..

Earlier than the armchair analysts give foolish opinions, I’m not going to debate the structural challenges of the Valorant ecosystem, co-ed play, or the infrastructure and issues that come up in having combined groups or totally built-in occasions on the expense of 1 circuit.

Nevertheless, I’ll debate the necessity for occasions that showcase how a lot Sport Changers has developed and the way a lot the athletes can flex on extra then half of the common VCT groups.

We simply witnessed some high tier Valorant performed in Sao Paolo, in an occasion that was extra thrilling then all of the OFF//SEASON showmatches and mini occasions mixed. Sure, not ever match and group was on the identical degree, however relating to TL Brazil, G2 Gozen and Shopify Revolt, we’re seeing some pristine VALORANT being performed.

On the peak, Sport Changers gamers can simply dominate, flex and teabag a great portion of the “fundamental” VCT groups. Riot Video games ought to give attention to letting them showcase that.

Give us a VALORANT Cup or VCT All-Star Occasion

It’s time to totally combine each scenes for at the least a number of occasions. Let’s pit each seasonal Champions in a real VCT Cup Showmatch. We are able to even embody the highest groups from every league towards one another or create a combined group competitors with all the highest gamers.

At this stage, I actually wish to see Jojina and Boaster battle out their positivity, vibes and stage presence. I wish to see if any of the boys can outmeme Melanji earlier than a match.

It’s time esports purists actually understand how a lot Riot Video games has achieved with the Sport Changers ecosystem, how a lot Valorant has developed and simply really recreation altering (xD) these initiatives are for the entire of esports.

Let’s have it.
