NRG has unveiled the Neon Dream Invitational 2025, a VALORANT tournament featuring eight Game Changers teams and a $10,000 prize pool.
For viewers in EMEA, the event will be broadcast on NRG’s official Twitch channel from November 8th to 10th.
Reigning VALORANT champion NRG hosted its first Neon Dream Invitational in 2022, one year after publisher Riot Games introduced the Game Changers (GC) circuit to provide more competitive opportunities for women and other marginalised genders.
This year’s edition will see GC veterans FlyQuest RED and YFP X clash with up-and-coming teams Wadadaa, 100 Thieves, Ghost Gaming GC, Kiri Magenta, Blue Otter GC and :3.
“Game Changers ain’t over yet. Welcome back to the $10,000 NRG VALORANT Neon Dream Invitational,” shared NRG in today’s announcement.
While the format has evolved over the years, fans can expect a Group Stage consisting of two single-round-robin groups, followed by a double-elimination bracket. All matches are usually played as best-of-threes (BO3s), with the Grand Final taking place on November 10th at 12 AM BST.
More Game Changers Action Ahead
NRG’s Neon Dream Invitational won’t be the last GC tournament of the year. Following the conclusion of the regional leagues earlier this month, ten of the best teams from across the globe are heading to the VALORANT Game Changers Championship in Seoul.
The 2025 edition of GC’s largest annual tournament will be held from November 20th to 30th, featuring inaugural champion G2 Gozen as well as double-trophy winner Shopify Rebellion Gold.
