How much do professional VALORANT players earn?

Riot’s new shooter VALORANT has enjoyed an immense boost of popularity following its introduction. How will the new kid on the block hold up in terms of industry health?

The newest competitive first person shooter Valorant has been met with exceptional enthusiasm. Boasting great viewership numbers and a variety of invitational tournaments, its early trajectory seems reminiscent of games such as Overwatch in its launch year. However, just viewership numbers generally aren’t enough to build an ecosystem surrounding a game – it requires investments from organisations and a considerable amount of resources as well.
