As part of this announcement, the press release indicated the addition of a new iBUYPOWER Ace moment to the official stream.
The ‘iBUYPOWER ACE’ moment will bring added excitement and value to both professional players and their communities of fans throughout the 2024 VCT Americas schedule.
An ace in VALORANT is when a single player eliminates all five of the enemy opponents. It is quite rare and requires extraordinary skill to do so. To celebrate these extraordinary moments, iBUYPOWER has unlocked PC giveaways for viewers. The giveaway is available to North America viewers (United States and Canada).
“Reaching this new partnership with iBUYPOWER marks a significant milestone toward elevating the competitive experience for VCT Americas,” said Bear Jemison, Head of VALORANT Esports, Americas at Riot Games. “Our pros and fans deserve the best competitive experience possible and iBUYPOWER’s lineup of PCs and commitment to supporting the VCT Americas community delivers on all fronts.”
