Cloud9’s all-female Valorant<\/a> squad, C9 White<\/a>, has been dominating in the North American region. On 27th June, they won their second Game Changers tournament in a row, defeating all other female Valorant teams without dropping a single map during the playoffs. While C9 White’s domination is clear, there might be a reason for it, other than just practice and competing in all-female events. The squad threw down a challenge to other female teams, imploring them to not just play female-only tournaments, but instead compete against the best in the Valorant Championship Tour (VCT) open qualifiers.<\/p>\n

C9 White’s tip for all-female Valorant teams<\/h2>\n

After the Game Changes NA Series 2 tournament grand finals, C9 White player Annie Roberts gave one very important tip to other all-female Valorant teams.<\/p>\n

In essence, to get better and have a chance of beating C9 White, they need to compete against the best in the world, no matter the gender of the players.<\/p>\n

C9 White’s Annie Roberts reportedly<\/a> said post-match that: “They need to start getting into these open tournaments. When we first joined those tournaments, we weren’t winning, we were getting rolled, I think we even got 13-0’d a couple of times. But that didn’t stop us. We didn’t go home and cry.<\/p>\n

“It gave us more footage to review so that we got better. That is the one step you can take to actually improving beyond your scene; actually going out of your scene. We went beyond the girls’ scene and that’s why we’re at the top right now. I think if other [female] teams do that, then we’re going to see more close matches, and maybe a team taking a series off of us.”<\/p>\n

It appears this is what other top NA female teams plan to do, with Counter Logic Gaming Red planning to compete in the VCT Stage 3 open qualifiers. Further, the third-place finish at Game Changers Series 2, Shopify Rebellion, will compete at the VCT Stage 3 NA Challenges 1 qualifier and more.<\/p>\n
