A trophy silhouette that would forever ingrain itself in the IP expression of VALORANT and the VCT —

The VALORANT Champions trophy is the object of our pros desire. It represents reaching the peak of competition in VALORANT and is the symbol of greatness in our sport. But making a Championship worthy trophy isn't as easy as finding a cup and calling it a day. We needed a silhouette that was distinct to our sport, and a trophy that was uniquely VALORANT. So we turned towards the lore...

"This team is so gifted it makes me want to throw up"

Nick Valencia, Strategic Partnerships

A cornerstone of VALORANT lore is two earths, Alpha and Omega, fighting over a clean energy resource, radianite. In the lore, radianite is contained with in cubes where it is heated to power the technology of the VALORANT timeline. We gravitated towards the radianite cube as the central focus of our Championship trophy, with the two worlds exploding meeting with the cube as the focal point.
