The growth of VALORANT this year has also translated into a massive success for esports digital goods. Thanks to you and the millions of players who showed up in droves to buy VCT content in-game, we were able to share $44.3M from digital goods with teams.

It was also a great year of progress for Game Changers. Teams battled regionally throughout the year to reach the Game Changers Championship in Berlin, which was expanded to 10 teams and once again broke records...

Cases like Sin Prisa and Team Heretics show us that great players will find their way to the top and can do that relatively quickly. The players from Sin Prisa were competing in the contender division of Premier in April of this year, and won Ascension in September.

Champions Seoul was the most successful VCT event to date, reaching 9.13M peak viewers and 44.38M unique viewers during Grand Finals, over 5x the viewership of Champs LA the year before. Chinese fans made up a good portion of the viewership, and the event may hold the high-water mark for some time.

Last but certainly not least, the season finale brought us to the birthplace of esports, home to VCT Pacific and some of the world’s most passionate fans. We kicked things off with the best 16 teams in the world at the COEX, in the heart of Seoul, complete with a dope fan fest and PC bangs takeover.

The second Masters of the year took us to Shanghai, China where a community still relatively new to VALORANT welcomed the world with open arms.

Growing International Leagues
This was the second year of International Leagues and the partnership system, with the exception of China, which was in its first year. All leagues saw growth in viewership and engagement, which is very encouraging and validating.
