The official Brazilian VALORANT esports scene stands out both locally and internationally with the emergence of big names and teams, but there is still a great opportunity to offer a platform to the multiple teams that are popping up in Brazil every day, as well as to connect segmented development initiatives to the scenario. . . .
Riot Games is investing in the official VALORANT scene with the VALORANT Champions Tour, a series of local leagues and global events, and promoting the female scene with global VCT Game Changers. Offering multiple opportunities for Riot Games’ competitive FPS communities with women’s initiatives, LGBTQIA+, a mixed competitive and casual scene, Gamers Club is also investing in and committed to building a community of players looking for an increasingly professional competitive VALORANT experience. Now, the two companies are partnering to take the next step: creating a recurring and stable VALORANT circuit focused on a semi-professional or “level 2” scenario.
The Tier 2 Scenario is shaped by teams that, despite not participating in the VALORANT Champions Tour (Riot Games’ official scheme), excel in competition and are looking for a high-level environment to develop with the goal of participating in open qualifiers for the VCT-BR and other championships produced by Riot Games.

We believe this partnership with Riot will be very important for VALORANT’s competitive landscape. For more high-performing teams to compete at home or internationally, you need to make life easier for more people who want to get into esports and help discover new talent and organizations. This is the story we want to build with the Rising Tour and Gamers Club League.” said Jonathan Pereira, head of marketing at Gamers Club.
“The rapid growth of VALORANT as an esports discipline in Brazil makes us very excited to take the next step. We know that today we already have several teams active in Brazil, and new talents with great potential are being revealed daily, which makes it even more important to expand the official scenario to create opportunities for teams and players to have a continuous and high-level layer. quality tournaments quality. The purpose of this initiative is to create this space so that they can develop and reach a professional level faster.
