Riot Games has detailed its approach to maintaining competitive integrity for the 2027 VALORANT Champions Tour (VCT). As the league expands with more teams and the return of online competition, Riot is implementing stricter safeguards to ensure fair play. The organization maintains a zero-tolerance policy for cheating, including enabling or assisting others to cheat.
The new strategy focuses on preventing bad actors from entering competition rather than solely identifying them after the fact. Key measures include stricter hardware and software security requirements, clear account eligibility standards, and additional monitoring and verification steps as teams advance through tournaments. These safeguards are designed to make it harder for cheaters to participate, detect suspicious activity in real-time, and guarantee every team a fair opportunity. With Open Qualifiers approaching, Riot aims to open the path to professional VALORANT while reinforcing trust in the competitive ecosystem through proactive oversight and enforcement.
