Entering this esports scene is an exciting milestone for the organization as well, Adamou noted in the official announcement. He recalled how OverActive Media worked with Riot Games to grow the League of Legends European Championship and how OverActive Media believes that their venture into VALORANT will be just as successful.

“Every game has its own unique community, and by expanding into VALORANT, we’re unlocking further opportunities for meaningful and authentic engagement while building a team that can be competitive and win at the highest level,” Adamou said.
