Esports World Cup adds VALORANT for 2025 competition—but it’s courting more controversy with fans

After League of Legends and Teamfight Tactics, VALORANT is making its debut at the Esports World Cup this year. But while some see this as a major addition, not all fans are celebrating.

The Esports World Cup Foundation and Riot Games have signed a three-year agreement to feature VALORANT at the Esports World Cup in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, starting 2025. This will be the first time riot’s First Person Shooter appears at the tournament, while League and TFT were already part of the lineup in 2024.
