Some teams have shuffled their rosters while others have added new coaches. The Russian powerhouse, Gambit Esports are still favored to take the championship trophy, but so much has changed since they won VALORANT Champions Tour Stage 3 Masters Berlin in September. Teams have been training non-stop for months, holding boot camps all over the world - from Serbia and the Philippines to around the tournament venue in Berlin - in preparation for the biggest tournament of the year.
VALORANT Champions 2021 is nearly here and it should be unlike anything seen before in Riot Games’ tactical shooter.
