Valorant Champions Tour 2024 Unveils Exclusive Team Capsules: A New Era of Fan Engagement

The Valorant Champions Tour (VCT) 2024 season is set to revolutionize fan engagement with the introduction of its inaugural VCT Team Capsules.

This innovative addition is a testament to Riot Games’ commitment to fostering a deeper connection between fans and their favorite esports teams. As the world of Valorant esports continues to expand, the VCT Team Capsules emerge as a pivotal milestone, marrying player support with immersive gaming experiences.

 

For years, the community has voiced a strong desire for team-specific in-game items, and Riot Games has responded with a vibrant solution. The VCT Team Capsules are not just another set of cosmetics; they represent a symbiotic relationship between the esports ecosystem and its passionate fanbase. In 2023, the VCT shared over $33 million USD with partnered teams, thanks to player purchases of in-game VCT Collections.

The design process for these Capsules was meticulous and collaborative, ensuring that each item not only looked spectacular but also captured the essence of the 44 VCT International League partner teams.

From the Classic weapon skin to the unique Player Cards, designed in collaboration between teams and Valorant artists, each element of the Capsule exudes the teams’ unique identities, achievements, and even community memes.

The Classic weapon skin, a staple for any Valorant player, leads the Capsule collection. It comes equipped with features highly valued by professional players, such as distinctive Firing Audio SFX and Kill Banners, enhancing the competitive experience. A groundbreaking augmented reality (AR) feature allows the team’s name and logo to dynamically appear on the weapon, elevating broadcast moments and in-game clutches.

Each Capsule contains a treasure trove of items, including:

• Team-themed Classic skin with AR Inspect, featuring team logos and colors.
• Custom Kill Banner and Firing Audio SFX.
• VCT Muzzle Flash FX, tailored to team colors.
• Player Card, Gun Buddy, and Spray, all designed with team logos.

The VCT Team Capsules will be available for purchase within the new in-game Esports Store, accessible through the “Esports” tab on the Store page.

The launch aligns with patch 8.03, rolling out across various regions starting February 21, 2024. Notably, players in China can look forward to celebrating their teams starting May, just in time for Masters Shanghai, marking a significant moment for the CN International League in its debut season.

As the VCT 2024 season unfolds, fans are encouraged to show their support by tuning into the International League Kickoff and subsequent playoffs across the globe.

The introduction of VCT Team Capsules not only enhances the Valorant esports viewing experience but also solidifies the bond between teams and their global fanbase, promising an exciting year ahead for players, fans, and organizations alike.
