The Valorant Champions Tour Game Changers program was announced in late February, shining a light on competitive opportunities for women in Riot’s new tactical shooter. According to Riot, the Game Changers tournament series is a way to “build a more representative Valorant Champions Tour.”
Valorant’s esports scene has seen a lot of progression in terms of female inclusivity. This includes Cloud9 White, an all-female Valorant team that has also competed in more traditional tournaments, as well as TSM’s
newly-announced women’s roster. Now, Riot has released more information on this all-female Valorant tournament.
