In the eSports industry, the male-to-female ratio is almost non-existent. There are extremely few female gamers, and one of the reasons for this is that there are no lucrative tournaments for women or individuals of other genders. As a result, Riot Games has launched the Valorant Champions Tour Game Changers tournament.
This new program will augment the competitive season by providing new chances and visibility to women and other excluded genders in Valorant esports. Riot Games hopes that Game Changers will pave the way for a Valorant Champions Tour that is more inclusive and representative of their varied community.
The Valorant Champions Tour Game Changers debuted in 2021 and was an enormous success. Thanks to its popularity, the betting industry has also started providing betting odds for all the Valorant Champions Tour Game Changers matches.
