Riot’s wise choice for Valorant.
What is happening in Ukraine does not go unnoticed and all parties with a major economic impact or with international participation are under the influence of the conflict. Like traditional sport, export will also be postponed, starting with the EMEA Valorant Champions Tour 2022.
This is because, obviously, there are also several Russian and Ukrainian players among the teams competing in the tournament, including Gambit, Natus Vincere, FunPlus Phoenix and Acend and that is why Riot has decided to postpone the tournament, communicating it via twitter:
After careful consideration, we have decided to postpone VCT EMEA Week 3 games. Our community? S welfare is integral to us and at this time, our number one priority is to support the players, casters, staff and fans affected by the escalating crisis in Ukraine.

“After careful consideration, we have decided to postpone VCT EMEA week 3 games. The well-being of our community is an integral part of us and right now, our number one priority is to support the players, casters, staff and fans affected by the escalating crisis in Ukraine.“
Further news on this will come later, hoping it will be as soon as possible, a sign of a peace that has arrived.
