Get ready, VCT Game Changers is back for a second year! Held in collaboration with FSL, SEA's premier women gaming circuit, VCT Game Changers is a competitive series that aims to create new opportunities and exposure for women and other marginalized genders within the  VALORANT esports ecosystem.  

The Game Changers APAC 2022 Series will supplement the ongoing VCT competitive season by providing a pro player circuit that reflects the diversity and global nature of the VALORANT community and player talent seen in the region.
