Following the success of the two previous Valorant Champions events, which took place in Germany and Turkey, Riot Games has upped the ante yet again for 2023 by setting the world championship in LA to end the first year of the partnered league format.

Sixteen teams from EMEA, the Americas, Asia-Pacific, and China will take to the stage at this season-ending championship, which will mark the first international Valorant event in North America. Valorant Champions 2023 will have a record $2.25 million prize pool – more than double that of last year’s world championship.

With the game proving massively popular in North America thanks to teams like Sentinels, OpTic Gaming, and 100 Thieves, fans are expected to flock to Los Angeles to watch the matches in person.
