A couple of days ago, the VALORANT Americas Players Association announced the new committee that will fight for the rights of every player this 2023. Specifically, on May 15, the 22 team representatives and the six committee members were announced, including the vice president and the president of the Association.
VALORANT Americas Players Association
Taylor “Sastre” Broomall, former TSM coach, was responsible for forming the VALORANT Players Association in December of last year. Sastre created this Association to defend the rights of each of the players of the Americas. In turn, the Association’s mission is to work hand in hand with Riot Games to grow the league.
The LoL LCS Players Association is financially supporting the VALORANT Players Association. Thanks to this support, the Association is financially independent of Riot Games.
Now, six months after the creation of the Players’ Association, the AVPA has moved forward to elect each of the teams’ representatives. In addition, the committee representing the Association has also been elected.
