Esports infrastructure company Nerd Street Gamers is set to operate the first stage of the VALORANT Champions Tour. The company will manage all Challengers and Masters events in the period between January and March 2021.

Riot Games has chosen Nerd Street Gamers as the suitable candidate who will operate the VALORANT tour. Hailing from Philadelphia, Nerd Street Gamers has hosted Ignition Series tournaments before they were chosen to work with Riot Games.

John Fazio, CEO of Nerd Street Gamers, is eager to participate in this project:

“It’s an honor to be a part of VALORANT’s growth since its launch last summer. Riot Games’ efforts to provide opportunities for all gamers aligns with our own mission and further expands the esports landscape. We are incredibly proud of the work we’ve done with Riot including powering the first North American Ignition Series and hosting the largest all-women VALORANT tournament. Producing the inaugural Champions Tour takes our collaboration to the next level and cements a foundation for the long term growth and sustainability of the path-to-pro ecosystem.”

Chris Greeley, Director of Esports at Riot Games, stated:

“Since the launch of VALORANT, Nerd Street Gamers has been a strong supporter of competitive VALORANT in North America. We are confident that the 2021 Champions Tour will help elevate North American teams to the next level. With various VALORANT tournaments under their belt, Nerd Street Gamers was a strong choice to partner with for the first stage of the Champions Tour. We’re excited to continue our partnership with Nerd Street Gamers and continue to build the esports ecosystem together.”
