Hey esports fans! I’m Whalen, also known as “Magus,” writing to you on behalf of the VALORANT esports team to share some initial thoughts on esports, VALORANT, and how we hope to combine the two.
We come from a range of esports, sports, and competitive gaming career backgrounds, but all of us are huge fans of playing and watching FPS games. For us, working on VALORANT and helping to develop its competitive ecosystem—especially as it grows into the professional space—is daunting, humbling, and inspiring all at once. There’s no doubt that, as a hyper-competitive experience, VALORANT has the ingredients to be a successful esport and we have big dreams for what this can be, but we want to be thoughtful in how we put it all together.
Our aspiration is to build an esport worthy of your lifelong attention...
