The winners of VALORANT Champions 2025 will receive a special prize: a sterling silver necklace featuring a 22-karat gold pendant. It’s a new design, moving away from the previous cube-shaped trophy.
Forget the old trophies! The winning team of VALORANT Champions 2025 will receive a stunning new prize: a sterling silver necklace with a 22-karat gold cube built into it – the Champions Necklace. This new prize, featuring the Champions Pendant, is a significant improvement over what winners received before.
In the past, each player on the winning VALORANT Champions team received a Radiant Cube as a personal prize. Now, the Radiant Cube will no longer be given out individually; instead, its design will be incorporated into the Champions Pendant.
VALORANT Champions 2025 all to receive Champions Necklace
All members of the winning team will receive a Champions Necklace.
The Champions Pendant includes a design of the tournament trophy and a bead showing the year. The winning team and final score will be engraved on the pendant’s base.
VALORANT Champions now have a new necklace, designed with Good Art Hollywood – the same creators of the popular Champions MVP bracelet, which will continue to be awarded to top players.
Jewelry in competitive esports
While it’s uncommon, esports competitions sometimes award jewelry to winners. For example, since 2021, Riot Games has been giving specially designed championship rings to the winning teams of the League of Legends World Championship.
Similar to other major sports leagues, the Call of Duty League now awards World Championship rings to its winning players, with each ring personalized with the players’ names. This tradition of championship rings, modeled after the NBA, has also become popular in competitive gaming for titles like Dota 2, Overwatch, and Counter-Strike.
Giving necklaces or chains as prizes isn’t common in esports, which might explain why Riot Games chose to do so. Back in 2022, H3CZ, the CEO of OpTic Gaming, famously gave his VALORANT team gold chains after they won the Masters Reykjavík tournament.
“Players want the drip”
Leo Faria presented the Champions Necklace during the panel in Paris, and also shared a quick story about it.
Leo Faria, who leads VALORANT Esports and the VCT, remembers asking Christine Chi (Potter) at the Champs Seoul afterparty what she really thought of a potential change they were considering. He wanted her honest feedback, even if it wasn’t positive, and asked directly if the idea was ‘lame’.
Potter didn’t call it bad, but explained that players want something visually impressive – ‘the drip’ – to share online and celebrate their wins. That’s the reason we’re creating the Champions Pendant.
Okay, so VALORANT Champions is wrapping up on October 5th, and the prize pool is a massive $2.25 million! But the coolest part? They’re ditching the old Cube reward and giving out a Champions Necklace instead. It seems like Riot is really trying to make the rewards for esports even more impressive and visually stunning, which, honestly, I’m all for!
