While mainstream VALORANT competition has halted, the female esports scene is ongoing. Accordingly, the VCT 2022 Game Changers Championship is almost here and celebrates the past competitive year – one new world championship will be crowned. Read on to learn how to watch the event below!
Event Background
Heading into this competitive season, one thing Riot Games revealed was an investment in female VALORANT esports. Accordingly, the Game Changers Championship is a new post-season event looking to crown the champion of female esports for the season.
Taking place offline in Berlin, a total of $500,000 is on the line. Moving further, the event will run from 15th to 20th November, where the top 8 female teams in the world will be in attendance.
Earning their seeds through competing all year, here are your teams:
- Cloud9 White – NA Series 3
- Shopify Rebellion GC – NA Circuit Points
- Team Liquid Brazil – BR Circuit Points
- KRU Fem – LATAM Regional Final
- Guild X – EMEA Series 3
- G2 Gozen – EMEA Circuit Points
- FENNEL Female – East Asia
- X10 Sapphire – APAC Elite
Read on as we dive deeper into the event schedule and format below.
Format
Overall,. the format is very simple.
All teams have been seeded into a double elimination bracket, starting in the upper bracket. All matches here will be a BO3 while the Grand Final is a BO5.
So, what does double elimination mean for those who don’t know? While all teams start in the Upper Bracket, a loss would result in falling into the Lower Bracket.
Once in the Lower Bracket, a further loss will result in elimination from the event. Naturally, the Grand Final will involve two teams – one that made it through the Upper Bracket and one which made it from the Upper Bracket.
Anyways, here are the opening matches which have been randomly seeded:
Upper Bracket Quarterfinals
- Cloud9 vs KRU Fem
- G2 Gozen vs X10 Sapphire
- Guild X vs SR GC
- FENNEL Female vs Team Liquid Brazil
It’s rather simple – only one team is walking away with the victory.

Predictions
Considering no international event has been held for Game Changers yet, this is very tough to predict.
Also, all teams present are the best in their respective regions. Accordingly, with regards to stronger regions, the community does lean towards Europe and North America.
Bearing this in mind, Cloud9 White and Guild X seemt o be favourites heading into the coming event.
However, if VALORANT has taught us anything, is that things get interesting and unpredictable – we can’t wait to see who comes out on top.
Otherwise, this event looks to be a huge milestone for female VALORANT esports!
