To commemorate and celebrate the best of the VCT and Game Changers, TenZ has partnered with RedBull and VALORANT to create the 2025 VALORANT Community Awards.

TenZ VALORANT Community Awards

The TenZ VALORANT Community Awards will celebrate the best of 2025 VCT and Game Changers. The former professional player will host the live ceremony and broadcast the show on his channels.

The event will only consider the votes of VCT and Game Changers teams for each category. Players and Coaches from these teams will rank their top 5 for every category and assign them points. Top 3 players with the highest cumulative points in each category will be the final nominees.

TenZ will announce the categories and the finalists for the 2025 VALORANT Community Awards at a later date.

RedBull and VALORANT have partnered with TenZ for the show, meaning it will be a big affair. While the exact details of the ceremony and the scale of the event are not yet disclosed, this is the first award show of its kind in VALORANT.

Also, the event is a kind of peers getting flowers from their peers event, and less a vote of popularity, something we see less often in esports/gaming. Furthermore, having TenZ, the face of the game, spearhead such an event is commendable, as it will bring recognition to players/coaches who are less talked about.

For fans of the game, the award show has the Fan Award Categories where the live viewers will decide the winner for each.

Where to Watch

The awards ceremony will be broadcast live from Los Angeles on December 15, 9:00 p.m. PT on TenZ's YouTube | Twitch.
