Welcome back to the Valorant Game Changers! The Championship is back again with its important mission of giving a chance to exceptional talents from marginalized genders. This is a year-long circuit, and it's very similar to VCT - players are putting in all their efforts throughout the season so they can qualify for an international LAN event at the end of the year.

Game Changers (GC) is one of the most unique events out there, and it has been a great success from the very beginning. However, there have been some problems lately that have prevented its growth, and many professionals have been leaving Game Changers because of sustainability issues.

One of the main purposes of Valorant Game Changers is to support the players' transition from GC to Challenger's League or the International stage. There is also an in-game tournament system called Premier, and from now on, the team that meets the specific criteria will be promoted directly to the Invite decision. Moreover, the GC players will earn byes in matches outside of the Playoffs if there is a schedule conflict.

The best news so far is that all teams that qualify for the Game Changers Championship will receive an invitation to the tier two qualifier, and they will compete in their regional Challengers League. They can compete for both a GC team and a Collegiate team simultaneously. Additionally, as long as the roster consists of at least 3/5 GC pros, organizations that have a team in the Challengers or the International League are allowed to have one more team.
