Based on initial viewership reporting, Masters London has become the most-watched #VCT event of all time.

Thank you for helping us make history. ❤️

#VALORANTMasters ✅

The first-ever international VCT event in the UK, an esports pub in Hackney, hiring Big John as our landlord, community stories with Notion Magazine, and thousands of passionate VALORANT fans.

A special couple weeks. Onto Barcelona 🇪🇸

Big news! @roxi_hime is back as our Game Changers ambassador for another year 🙌

We couldn’t ask for a better voice to represent Game Changers, bridge the gap between fans and the pro scene, and help shape the future of the league.

What a start to the year we’ve already had! Stage 1 hit 100K+ peak viewership, a milestone for GC EMEA. We also introduced Cash Cups and welcomed top new orgs into the GC ecosystem. The momentum is building, and we’re just getting started.

Want to hear more about what’s happening in Game Changers? Come hang with us on Roxi’s stream on May 4 before the G2 vs M8 match, where we’ll be chatting all things GC.

Everything. Is. A. TOURNAMENT. @lhfaria has bold plans for #VCT in 2027.

Did you hear that? Sounds like intro music.

@TheUrbanShep Best of luck with everything in the future, Graham. Hopefully see you around.

Super excited to be partnering with @MovemberUK 💜

This one genuinely means a lot to me. Movember focuses on some important areas of health that let's be honest, we don't always spend enough time thinking about. I’ve been a big fan of the work Movember does for a long time, so getting to introduce them to our players and team staff at the Player Summit last week was really special.

Pro play isn’t easy. The pressure to perform, online criticism, time away from home, it all adds up. We want to do everything we can to better support the players and teams across all corners of the VAL esports ecosystem, and with Movember we can expand on the tools and support in place to help make our environment healthier and happier for everyone.

We want to raise the bar for how we support the players on stage and carry those same values into the wider community. If this helps even one of you feel more comfortable talking about mental health with your mates, or asking for help when you need it, that’s a win.

And remember, if you're going through a tough time, or have a friend you think is going through a tough time, have that conversation - it aint weak to speak.

Really excited to share what’s coming for VALORANT EMEA in 2026!

- Introducing VALORANT EMEA Clash - a new tournament between Kickoff and Masters where top Challenger teams face VCT squads that miss out on Santiago

- Challengers will feature a new Last Chance Qualifier (for all CL teams), giving all CL teams another shot at reaching Stage 2 - taking place in July

- Game Changers is getting new monthly Cash Cups - community-run tournaments open to all GC teams in EMEA: with prize pools, ranking points, and offering a new qualification path into Stage 3 - running all year!

- More tournaments coming after the official season ended (more @ProjectBlender_ ?)

[Daniel Ringland @RiotStupendous]

Hey VAL fans!

I’m super pumped to see what goes down at the Tier 1 vs. Tier 2 event — hoping for a bunch of surprises and upsets!

Challengers EMEA 3 will run from June 22 to July 6, and then we’re following it up with a final LCQ-style tournament in mid-July to award the last ticket to the Road to Champions. The idea is to keep Challengers teams in the mix right up until the Road to Champions kicks off. We’ve actually got a detailed article dropping this afternoon, so stay tuned.

We're cooking for the off-season and really liked @ProjectBlender_ , but don't have anything to share on this just yet.
