Riot Games announced Thursday that it will promote a number of third-party tournaments during the VALORANT OFF//SEASON in the lead up to the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023.

According to Anton Ferraro, the principal public relations strategist for global esports at Riot, the next official season of the VCT will not begin until the Kickoff Tournament in Brazil next February. In the meantime, Riot Games will support several third-party tournaments during the VALORANT OFF//SEASON. The company will advertise these events on its official channels and offer insights to their tournament organizers.

“Over the next few months, we anticipate massive roster changes, speculation from fans on which teams are making the superior moves, and the start of new rivalries,” Ferraro wrote in a blog post. “Our goal is to provide a window for organized competition that will help answer these questions through new content and the freedom for TO’s to experiment with new formats.”
