Ahead of VCT Americas 2025, Samsung SSD and Pulsar Partner with VALORANT International League
As partners for VCT Americas, Samsung SSD and Pulsar will be featured throughout the competition’s broadcasts through various activations.
Samsung SSD Match Start and Recap Package
For Samsung SSD, the computer storage brand will present the ‘Samsung SSD Match Start’ which will commence select VCT Americas matches on its English broadcast. The brand will also develop a recap package made using Samsung SSDs.
Pulsar ‘Flick of the Week’
Meanwhile, the Pulsar ‘Flick of the Week’ will highlight pivotal headshot moments that take place throughout a match. This will be available across English, Portuguese, and Spanish broadcasts.
Hardware Integration
Outside of broadcast integrations, Pulsar’s mice, keyboards, and mouse pads will outfit the PC fan area for those at VCT Americas’ Riot Games Arena. As the competition’s ‘Official Memory/SSD Partner’, hardware used by VCT Americas players will also be equipped with Samsung SSD’s 990 PRO.
Partnership History
Samsung SSD and Pulsar are no strangers to Riot Games’ esports ecosystem, with both brands already partners of other esports competitions within the developer’s catalogue.
Future Prospects
With this deal, Samsung SSD supports VCT Americas and League of Legends’ newly rebranded LTA. Meanwhile, Pulsar is a partner for another VALORANT International League, VCT Pacific.
Exciting Opportunities
In the announcement, Riot Games noted: “The Samsung 990 PRO will truly be the perfect teammate for every VCT America pro and whether you’re a PC loyalist or console warrior, it can definitely be yours too.”
Upcoming Events
VCT Americas is set to commence later today (January 16th), with its kick-off tournament. Joining the 11 returning teams will be 2GAME Esports, a Brazilian organisation that secured promotion to the VCT through last year’s Ascension event. Aside from Riot Games’ Americas event, VALORANT Champions Tour kick-off competitions in China and EMEA have commenced, with VCT Pacific starting on January 18th. The top two teams of VCT Americas’ first tournament of 2025 will secure a place at Masters Bangkok in February.
