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.

Team Vitality CEO Neo: "For Us to be a Global Leader Means Being a Contender at EWC"

Team Vitality remains one of the most influential and well-known esports organizations to date. The Paris-based org fields over 20 esports teams in various esports, though their immensely impressive results in Counter-Strike take center stage. Being one of the organizations present at Esports World Cup 2026 in Paris, we managed to speak with Fabien "Neo" Devide, Co-Founder and CEO of the Hive, just after an interview with Mike McCabe, COO of the Esports World Cup Foundation, at the opening press conference at EWC. Neo provided a ton of insight into the organization's participation at this year's edition of EWC in Paris. He expressed his desire for the org to perform to the highest standards, but also highlighted that rivalry is key to grow the ecosystem. Additionally, Neo gave strong opinions on the growth of mobile esports following last year's Vitality's takeover and merger with Indonesian side Bigetron, stressing the need for innovation and following ideas in the east, as much as the west.
