Previous Game Changers results
The first Game Changers event took place in March of 2021. Cloud9 White took the crown in a crowded landscape of top teams. The field included sponsored squads like TSM Female, CLG Red and Dignitas. The unsigned teams included the former Moon Raccoons Black roster, Man I Love Fwogs, the now Gen.G Esports women’s team and Watch This. Cloud9 White stomped through the tournament, not dropping a single map on their way to the finals. They swept CLG Red in the final matchup and solidified their spot as the top female squad in North America.
The upcoming Dignitas Game Changers event may see new challengers come against Cloud9 White, as the women’s scene has continued with more competitions and teams. Since the first Game Changers event, there have been other events like Game Changers Academy, the Women in Leadership VALORANT series and the Pittsburgh Knights Sakura Cup in order for teams to test their skill.
