This live event, set for December 15, 2025, in Los Angeles, will honor standout talents from the VCT and Game Changers circuits alike. What sets it apart? The winners will be decided by the pros themselves, giving a genuine approval to those shaping the scene from within.

How Voting Works
TenZ has laid out the working in his X post, VCT and Game Changers squads including players and coaches will rank their top five contenders per category. Points scale with placement, pushing the top three scorers into the finalist spotlight.
It’s a setup straight out of classic sports MVP ballots, which will prioritize sustained excellence and teammate respect over fleeting moments of glory. This approach promises a diverse lineup of nominees, with a variety of household names with the unsung role players who quietly anchor their teams.
TenZ’s Route In Valorant
From arena to spotlight post retirement, TenZ has doubled down on taking on VALORANT’s growth through content and events, and this awards show fits right in. As host of what could become an yearly tradition, he’s evolving into the face of the franchis.
Fans get to cheer him on a new way, in a role that spotlights the sport he helped define. Details like the complete category slate, finalist reveals, and show rundown are still under wraps, with TenZ teasing more soon.
If it captures the polish of VCT broadcasts and draws real buy in from the pros, this 2025 debut could become as a must watch year ender.
