Details on the VALORANT Champions 2024 Opening Ceremony have now been released. The ceremony will take place prior to the Grand Finals of VALORANT Champions 2024 on August 25th.

Start time for the opening ceremony has been announced to begin at 4pm KST // 12am PT. As is tradition with Riot Games, their opening ceremonies for Worlds and Champions tend to be the highlight of the year in terms of opulence and celebration and this year promises to be no different.

With an incredible lineup of exciting talent including Kiss of Life and Mark Tuan (OMG right?), the mood will be nicely set for an epic Grand Finals Match. Oh, and there's probably going to be a showmatch as per usual to showcase VALORANT newest agent - an initiator most likely, with an hourglass theme.

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.
