Where to Watch
The tournament will primarily be streamed on the official VALORANT Twitch and Youtube. For the first two days, matches are scheduled to take place simultaneously, so VALORANT will be utilizing a secondary stream on the same channels. There will also be streams of the matches by Dignitas, a licensed esports organization, and RadiantGG, a gaming initiative focused on opportunities for women gamers.
The Competition
Cloud9 White is currently the top performer in the Game Changers NA bracket. Although they had to forfeit a match in the open qualifiers, they still hold a strong lead after championing Game Changers Series One earlier this year.
Shopify Rebellion claim to be the “scrappy misfits” or the esports scene. Their 61% win rate edges close to Cloud9 White’s 64%. As the current second-place team, they stand a chance to take down the current reigning champs.
Dignitas has an 18 year history of covering esports and gaming, and now their female VALORANT team has a chance at winning it big. They’re close behind second in the circuit point rankings for NA.
TSM are the stylish contenders from Canada. Despite being in the middle of the pack, TSM X is tied with Immortals for their win rate of 69%, although they have far more matches under their belt.
Immortals are the champions from the Great Lakes. They have yet to win a series, but came close this April as second place in the Pittsburgh Knights Sakura Cup.
The Dart Monkeys are the amateur competitors with their loveable plush monkey mascot. They might seem like true underdogs, but they managed to beat the big-name XSET Female in the qualifiers 2-0 and boast the highest win rate of 71%.
Ariana Grande Perfume and Sanri-O’s
These teams have no past record or organization, but will have the chance to make a name for themselves in this series.
