VALORANT in the city: Team Vitality unveils program to celebrate esports in Paris

"The Fans Rendez-Vous" is Team Vitality’s upcoming campaign to turn Paris into the ultimate esports hub ahead of the VALORANT Champions 2025. Fans can look forward to unique experiences, exclusive Paris-themed merchandise, and a chance to celebrate their love for esports in style.

Paris will become the capital of esports in September 2025. Although no French organization qualified for the VALORANT Champions 2025, Team Vitality launched a fan program to celebrate the event and the esports community.

Moreover, every weekend from Sept. 12 to Oct. 5, Team Vitality will host teams from around the world in its city. Indeed, the organization embraces this role with pride and commitment, as stated in the press release. Additionally, on social media, fans can find original content highlighting the city’s traditions and clichés.

The capital will celebrate the launch of the new Team Vitality Alternate 2025 jersey (inspired by the French flag), free shuttles to the competition venue, and much more! You can keep track of all the activities on the organization's X and Instagram accounts.

Team Vitality's venue will open its doors to all esports fans. Specifically transformed to celebrate VALORANT, the space has been created in partnership with EVNIA, ASUS, Magnum, and Riot Games. Fans will have the opportunity to try out brand new monitors, play VALORANT, watch the Champions tournament, and purchase new merchandise.

Visit the space located at 102 Boulevard de Sébastopol, 75003 Paris. The opening hours are as follows: Monday to Wednesday, 1 p.m. to 9 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, 1 p.m. to 11 p.m.; and Sunday, 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. You can reach the venue by bus using lines 38, 39, N13, and N14, or by taking the subway to the Strasbourg - Saint-Denis station.

Suppose you want to experience Team Vitality's home and attend the Champions tournament from Sept. 12 to 28. In that case, the Team Vitality and Crédit Agricole shuttle will transport fans from V.Hive to the Arènes de Grand Paris Sud in Évry-Courcouronnes. Onboard, fans will have the opportunity to receive exclusive goodies during the ride. To participate, simply sign up on the Fans Rendez-Vous official page.

But there is much more happening in the city of love! On Sept. 13, you have the opportunity to meet some of Team Vitality's players in person and discuss VALORANT with them. To participate, make sure to bring your ticket, either in digital format or as a printed version. Please note that access will only be granted with a valid ticket!
