Valorant Reportedly Made $18+ Million From Skins

BY Katherine Felix • 5 years AGO • 2 MIN READ

The 2021 Valorant Champions skins earned Riot Games over $18.7 million USD while it was available from the in-game store. The Champions Collection featured only two skins for the Vandal and the karambit, and was priced at 6260 Valorant Points.

The Champions Collection ran from November 24 to December 12, going live the same time as the first VCT. One unique trait of the weapon skins was the glowing effect it had for top fraggers of matches. It also played the official song for VCT 2021, Die For You, when inspected or used to deal a finishing blow to an enemy.

Riot Games divided 50% of net proceeds between participating teams.

Riot Games included a disclaimer in the Champions bundle’s description about distributing the revenue with the players. Given that they earned over $18.7 million USD, each team will be splitting $585,000 USD from their $9.35 million USD share.

Teams have the freedom to split the $585,000 USD amongst them and in a report from Upcomer, here is how teams plan on distributing the money.

Europe, Middle East, and Africa teams

Fnatic 80/20
Team Liquid 70/30

North America teams

OpTic Gaming (previously named Team Envy) 50/50
Sentinels 50/50

Latin America teams

Furia 60/40
Vivo Keyd 20/80

Asia-Pacific teams

X10 100/0
Team Secret 70/30
Vision Strikers 70/30

Other teams are unlisted because of incomplete or inaccurate information from the original report. The teams unlisted are:

  • Acend
  • Cloud9
  • Gambit Esports
  • Crazy Raccoon
  • Full Sense
  • KRÜ Esports
  • Vikings

With the success of the 2021 Champions Bundle, it’s likely this limited-time cosmetics trend will continue in esports. If you have questions about Valorant, we’d love to hear from you in the comments below. For more content, stay with us, here at Spiel Times.

In their spare time, Kath hosts streams with friends while playing online multiplayer games like Valorant and Call of Duty. There isn't any type of game Kath shies away from... except if it's a horror game. Make Kath choose between eating a ghost pepper or playing Outlast and they'll endure the pain that comes with eating a ghost pepper. At the moment, Kath is getting lost in the world of Teyvat with Raiden Shogun, Zhongli, and Venti on their current team. Instead of going for the meta, Kath's main goal in Genshin Impact is to have all the Archons on her roster. Ask Kath what Genshin Impact is and prepare yourself for a very lengthy and detailed conversation about the open-world RPG. Aside from gaming, Kath also likes to dabble in playing music and some creative writing. With all of these hobbies and interests, it's a surprise Kath still gets bored from time to time.
