Riot Games is making some big changes to the Valorant<\/em> esports scene. The shift is due to kick off in 2023 and will include the introduction of three regional leagues representing the Americas, Europe, and Asia; previously, professional Valorant<\/em> operated on a tournament structure<\/a>. The changes will bring Valorant<\/em> more in line with Riot\u2019s other popular competitive game, League of Legends<\/em>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not clear yet which teams will participate in the new leagues, nor how they will be selected. But Riot says that \u201cthe new model will incorporate long-term partnerships with no entry fees to a select number of teams to ensure continued long-term stability for the world\u2019s fastest-growing esport,\u201d adding that \u201cteams who meet the selection criteria will be provided with financial support from Riot Games in the form of an annual stipend and the exclusive opportunity to collaborate on unique in-game activations and products.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to the weekly matches in regional leagues, top teams will also be able to qualify for international competitions, culminating in a world championship. The structure sounds very similar to the professional League of Legends<\/em> scene, which similarly includes a number of domestic leagues and major international tournaments, including the incredibly popular Worlds<\/a>. League <\/em>is arguably the most globally successful esport, and Riot appears to be attempting to replicate that success with its team shooter.<\/p>\n

As part of the new structure, Riot says that it\u2019s adding a new in-game mode to Valorant <\/em>that is \u201cdesigned to identify the best talent worldwide. This mode will act as a supplement to the existing leaderboards, providing players with a new goal above ranked play that integrates into the esports ecosystem.\u201d It\u2019s not clear when the new mode will be introduced. \u201cTogether, all these elements will contribute to a competitive ecosystem that will position Valorant<\/em> for its next stage of growth,\u201d John Needham, Riot\u2019s president of esports, said in a statement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
