VECtournaments has partnered with SHOUT, a UK-based mental health charity, to host a 4-week-long charity event dedicated to raising awareness and funds for mental health within the esports community—a crucial yet often overlooked topic in the industry. The event is designed to support amateur Valorant players, fostering an inclusive and competitive environment.
Throughout the tournament, players and spectators will be encouraged to engage with educational content about mental health, including resources and workshops provided by SHOUT. The campaign emphasizes the importance of mental well-being for players, fans, and staff alike, aiming to break stigmas and promote healthy practices in gaming.
The event will culminate in an exciting grand final on February 8, featuring an invited guest appearance to further drive visibility and engagement. Proceeds raised during the event will directly benefit SHOUT's mental health initiatives, ensuring that those in need have access to vital support services.
