Riot Games are trying to make Valorant a better place for everyone who's trying to pursue a career in the game's competitive scene. You can clearly tell that from Valorant Champions Tour and more notably Valorant Game Changers, a tournament made specifically for female teams. It already started!
Valorant has been out for over 9 months and the game's anniversary is drawing near. For these months, the game has grown significantly in terms of players and developed a healthy competitive scene. Valorant Game Changers was one of the latest announcements by Riot Games and it's all about female players. The event is already underway and we've got you covered.

The reveal of Valorant Game Changers came with a dedicated blog post by Riot on their official website.
Valorant Game Changers isn't the first all-female Valorant tournament as previously we've seen the FTW Summer Showdown. The latter took place in September 2020.

- TSM Female
- Cloud9 White
- Counter Logic Gaming Red
- Moon Raccoons Black
- Watch This
- OWA OWA

All of the teams earned their spot through open qualifiers and the results so far are as follows:

The Winners
The tournament offered $50,000 in prize money and concluded this Sunday, March 28. All of the action was live on the official Valorant NA Twitch channel. The two teams that made it to the grand finals were Cloud9 White and CLG Red.
