Leo Faria, Global Head of Valorant for Riot Games, has high hopes for the recently launched VCT Team Capsules. Riot Games and VCT teams came together to drop a line-up of items inspired by each team on February 21, 2024. These capsules included a Classic skin, gun buddies, a playercard, and one spray. They sold like hot commodities within weeks of release.
Talking about the success of this new collaboration, Faria said:
He added that the esports teams are also benefitting from this venture:
Each Valorant Champions Tour team has been working hard to sell its own capsule.
Sentinels players regularly engaged with fans on social media and showcased their bundles during matches. Team Liquid also praised Riot Games for allowing organizations to add their unique touch to the capsules. This personal touch, along with the 50 percent cut organizations are getting, gave them more incentive to promote the bundles.
Their hard work is certainly paying off, as Faria revealed that many teams have already surpassed their minimum guaranteed sales for a year. He said:
Furthermore, the Global Head of Valorant for Riot Games said they will soon be releasing a list that will show how much each team sold. This will help players gauge which team is among the most popular and which has better designs.
The VCT Team Capsules are up for sale in Valorant until September 10, 2024. Interested fans can buy them for 2,350 Valorant Points (around $25).
