+8Valorant tournaments enjoy popularity of fans of the discipline. Considering specifics of the stage, major championships take place not so often but on a large scale.
The tournament ecosystem is centralized as the developer Riot Games owns all rights for all TIER-1 stages and organizes competitions independently or with support of all third party tournaments operators.
Nevertheless, the second and the third levels have a sufficient number of secondary tournaments that are held by third party companies and they do not depend on the overall competitive VCT track.
Besides, Riot Games is actively developing the female stage with the Game Changers series where they hold Valorant tournaments and qualifying events in all existing regions.
Therefore, the ecosystem consists of several level that can make up a sole pyramid:
VALORANT is a competitor of CS:GO as it is in the same genre and represents a mix of a classical tactical shooter with some features taken from MMORPG — Dota 2 and League of Legends.
However, these distinctive features are twists of the discipline that has appealed to millions of fans from all over the world in three years.
Before the launch of VALORANT there had been juicy gossip about a new baby of Riot Games that is capable of competing with CS:GO. Then developers teased the game with a code name “Project A” introducing different concept arts and revealing tiny details of the upcoming project.
But in spring 2020 the game was officially released and the launch was accompanied with a massive PR campaign thanks to key distribution via Twitch. At the same time the developers made a deal with such popular streamers as shroud for them to promote VALORANT on their channels.
A few months later the game acquired the traits of a fully-fledged esports discipline — it had got its first professional teams and tournaments. By the end of the year the developers had organized the first event — First Strike. Then Riot Games introduced the future tournament scheme, giving a start to development of the VCT series.
The VALORANT Champions Tour series resembled League of Legends: it is divided into several elements — splits. Summarizing the structure of tournaments, we can outline the whole VCT scheme:
Each championship offers teams an absolutely different format of actions. However, most of them go for a classical division into a group stage and a playoff stage with a double elimination bracket that defines the winner.
However, there are exceptions, for example, a new format of LOCK//IN São Paulo that offered participants a single elimination bracket which implies elimination after each loss.
Nevertheless, this tournament is an exception of rules as Riot Games adopted a clearly defined structure of competitions giving participants a few chances to fight for the trophy.
First of all, the main organizer of all competitions is Riot Games. In fact, the developer monopolized holding the VCT series, including regional splits, Masters tournaments and VALORANT Champions.
Nevertheless, on the TIER-2 stage the developers redistribute powers between various tournament operators making each of them responsible for their own region.
We should point out the main players who hold Valorant tournaments:
Besides, there are other companies that conduct championships beyond the main competitive track. For example, these are Red Bull, MCT and Nerd Street Gamers. Also, major esports organizations hold tournaments themselves, inviting well-known team from the professional stage.
