How to claim Valorant Champions Twitch drops and player card

Valorant esports is gearing up for its biggest event yet. The Valorant Champions is the culmination of a year-long Valorant Champions Tour circuit, bringing together teams from all corners of the globe to be crowned Valorant Champions 2021.

Riot Games has always gone big when it comes to esports; their MOBA, League of Legends, is a high-water mark for the industry; with top production values, record-breaking audiences, and the ability to enjoy the action on many different platforms and in many different languages.

Riot Games also goes all-out with in-game content tied to events, and with Valorant, they are not changing it up.

We already have got the Valorant Champions Tour song (verifiable banger), as well as the Valorant Champions Tour skin collection, with 50% of the proceeds going to the teams involved.

But what if you're not into music or not quite the cash to plump for a skin line, don't worry, as there are at least two other rewards you can bag that won't cost you a penny. These include a Valorant Champions player card, spray, and gun buddy. Interested? Keep reading to find out how you can grab these.
