Riot Games plans to remove the existing VCT team capsules from the in-game store on September 12th. These capsules have been a key part of the VCT 2024 season. Thus allowing fans to show their support while providing crucial revenue to the teams.

On February 21, the VCT launched the 2024 team capsules, allowing fans to support their favorite teams stylishly and financially. The VCT Americas, EMEA, and Pacific capsules debuted on February 21. With VCT CN skins arriving in May for Masters Shanghai.

Riot focuses the revenue model for these capsules on the teams by sharing 50% of the proceeds with them. This mirrors the successful revenue-sharing strategy used for the 2023 Champions bundle. Which generated about $33 million for the participating teams.

Removing the Team Capsules

As we approach the end of the VCT 2024 season, the team capsules are set to be removed from the in-game store in September. This decision is likely due to the anticipated introduction of new team capsules for 2025. Leo Faria, Global Head of Valorant Esports, has hinted at this in the past.

The removal of the VCT team capsules in September marks the end of a successful season of fan engagement and financial support for teams. As fans eagerly await the potential release of new capsules in 2025, the impact of these in-game items on the esports ecosystem remains significant.

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.
