According to recent posts by Riot Games, the company aims to make significant changes to Valorant Game Changers structure. Game Changers teams qualifying for Valorant Challengers Leagues (one tier below Champions Tour) will benefit from a new rule: if 60% of their players are Game Changers members, they can support a second team in the league.

This allows Game Changers players to compete in both Game Changers and Challengers League teams.

Riot announced the return of the Game Changers Championship in November (8-17), expanding from eight to ten teams. The event will take place in Germany. The allocation includes three slots for EMEA, two for North America, two for Pacific, and one each for LATAM, Brazil, and China.

Riot plans to experiment with mixed-gender competitions during the offseason to promote diversity in competitive Valorant.

Additionally International League or Challengers teams can use a new lineup in different VALORANT tiers, provided the roster includes at least three Game Changers players. Furthermore, organizations with an existing Challengers League roster can now establish a second team to compete in Premier or another Challengers League, under the same criteria.
