Energy drink provider Red Bull will join the Valorants Champions Tour (VCT) EMEA as an official partner.
Red Bull will present the ‘most thrilling clutch moments’ to viewers during Challengers Stage 3, the EMEA Playoffs and Last Chance Qualifiers.
The energy drink producer has been one of the initial founding partners committing to the Valorant Champions Tour and already supported the First Strike tournament.
Red Bull sports a long-time history as a supporter of esports operated by Riot and will continue to do so in Valorant’s first global championship. For example, the separate Red Bull Solo Q official UK League of Legends 1v1 final takes place in London this weekend, and the Red Bull Campus Clutch Valorant final for university students took place last weekend.
“We are delighted to expand the collaboration with one of our global partners of VCT to bring even more exciting content to Europe, Turkey and CIS. We look forward to more competitive and thrilling plays in the segment Red Bull Clutch Moments.”
