In a surprising turn of events, the Esports World Cup Foundation has excluded Valorant, one of the most prominent esports titles, from the highly anticipated Esports World Cup 2024. Valorant, developed by Riot Games, has a dedicated fanbase and a thriving competitive scene. At first, it seemed that Valorant would be a premier title in the Esports World Cup 2024, making its absence all the more surprising. Notably, Valorant’s esports scene has grown leaps and bounds since the game’s launch in June 2020.
For players and teams who have dedicated countless hours honing their skills in Valorant, the news comes as a bitter disappointment, crashing hopes of showcasing their talents on the world stage and competing for a share of the historic prize pool.
With Riot Games continuing to support and expand upon the title through regular updates, balance changes, and esports initiatives like Valorant Premier, there’s no doubt that Valorant will continue to thrive in terms of esports, with or without representation at the Esports World Cup 2024.
