Valorant Champions might be held at Los Angles

Valorant Cinematic Watch puts forward a fun video regarding the Valorant community. Riot Games might have just teased the location for the upcoming Valorant Champions.

Redditor u/shast1k pointed out that a frame from the trailer reveals a poster of Valorant Champions with the location as Los Angeles.

The suggestion was picked up by a well-known Insider, Fione of Fire, with the suggestion of Los Angeles Staples Center as a possible choice. He added that considering a majority of the city will be vaccinated by December, this seems to be a great choice for the venue.

This seemed like the obvious choice. By December, a majority of the city will be vaccinated and gigantic stadiums will be at full capacity. Very easily could see them using the LCS Arena for group stage and then maybe have the finals at Staples or another big arena/venue

Riot Games held the Stage 2 Masters in Reykjavik, Iceland, and the Stage 3 Masters is all set to be held in Berlin, Germany. If this speculation turns out to be true, the Valorant Champions will be held in Los Angeles.
