Will Attwood, Competitive Experiences Manager, Northern Europe at Riot Games, said: “Riot Games is committed to creating more opportunities for women gamers; Game Changers has been a huge success for VALORANT and will continue to expand into other games. Rising Stars, as a local, standalone tournament, is another example of the work that we and our partners can do to promote diversity and inclusion in the esports community. The fact that we’re also able to support students taking their first professional steps in the industry is the cherry on top.”<\/em> <\/p>\n

Rising Stars will be broadcast live on the official Twitch channel of NUEL<\/a> and produced at the Confetti Institute of Creative Technologies in Nottingham.<\/p>\n
