Game Changers is an initiative by Riot Games, launched in February 2021 with a simple yet powerful goal: to offer new opportunities and exposure for women in VALORANT esports. This program blends community events with top-tier competition, creating opportunities for women within esports. In addition to the competitive aspect, Game Changers provides valuable training, empowering individuals to explore careers in the esports industry. Our aim is clear: create a stepping stone that encourages more women to compete at the highest levels of competition and unlocks new pathways into the esports industry.

This year, from November 28 to December 3, São Paulo will host the VALORANT Game Changers Championship, bringing together elite teams from around the world. These teams, hailing from Brazil, China, EMEA, Japan, Korea, East Asia, LATAM, North America, and Southeast Asia (SEA), will vie for the coveted championship trophy on the international stage.
