Esports infrastructure company Nerd Street Gamers (NSG) has expanded its partnership with video game publisher Riot Games.
The new agreement will see NSG operate and produce all three stages of the North American VALORANT Champions Tour (VCT). The previous deal between both entities, which was stuck in January 2021, only included the first stage.
Alongside operating the Champions Tour, NSG will also operate the first tournament in the VALORANT Game Changers Series, a new programme organised by Riot Games that aims to create a range of opportunities for women and marginalised genders.
