VALORANT CHAMPIONS 2024

Opening Ceremony

▬

This year, we shifted away from just celebrating esports alone. Instead we start seeing Champions as a way to bring the whole ecosystem of esports, game, gun skins, IP, community and culture all together in one tight seamless package.

We gathered the best of VALORANT’s culture for 2024: starting from Madge’s ‘2 Worlds’ for Clove, Odetari’s ‘Run’ for Console and 2024 Champions anthem ‘Superpower’ ft. KISS OF LIFE and Mark Tuan. Then we brought all these to life:

This opening ceremony also marks the first time where we brought a music video, frag reel, and agents to life. All achieved through a healthy dose of practical effects and performance choreography.

It’s not all just us, the ceremony also includes different part of the community and creators coming together to make this moment happened, whether it be nail arts, wardrobes, cameos and more.
