Valorant Champions 2025 Necklace

VALORANT Champions 2025 introduces a new symbol of victory for its winners. Instead of the Radiant Cube, which had been the traditional prize, champions will now receive a sterling silver necklace featuring a 22-carat gold pendant. This change marks a shift in how Riot Games celebrates its top players, blending competitive prestige with a more wearable and modern design.

The updated award, known as the Champions Necklace, incorporates the essence of the retired cube into the pendant itself. By transforming the former standalone trophy into part of a chain, the prize evolves from a display item into a piece of jewelry that players can carry with them beyond the stage. This adjustment highlights a new era in the presentation of VALORANT’s highest honor.

VALORANT Champions 2025 all to receive Champions Necklace

Each player on the victorious roster will be awarded a Champions Necklace, designed as a lasting symbol of their achievement. The pendant includes the tournament trophy, a bead displaying the year, and an engraving of the winning team’s name and final score along the base.

Key details:

• Material: Sterling silver with detailed craftsmanship
• Engravings: Team name + score
• Design elements: Trophy emblem + yearly bead

Good Art Hollywood collaborated on the design, continuing their work alongside the MVP bracelet tradition.

Jewelry in competitive esports

Jewelry as a form of recognition in esports remains unusual compared to more common rewards like trophies or medals. Rings have been the most consistent jewelry item, with several major leagues adopting them to honor champions. These pieces often mirror the style of traditional sports, where personalized championship rings are a long-standing practice.

Examples of jewelry rewards in esports:

• League of Legends Worlds: custom rings for each champion.
• Call of Duty League: engraved rings with player names.
• Other titles: Dota 2, Overwatch, and Counter-Strike have also featured championship rings.

Necklaces and chains are far less common. A notable case occurred in 2022 when OpTic Gaming’s VALORANT roster received gold chains from their CEO after a major victory. More recently, VALORANT Champions 2025 introduced a sterling silver chain with a 22-carat gold pendant, marking a rare shift from rings to necklaces.

Players look for style

The introduction of the Champions Necklace reflects a shift in how achievements are celebrated in competitive VALORANT. Instead of relying on the traditional Cube, Riot Games opted for a design that players can wear and showcase beyond the stage. This change emphasizes visibility and personal expression.

Why the shift matters:

• Trophies remain important, but they are harder to display outside events.
• Wearable rewards allow players to highlight accomplishments on social media.
• The design aligns with modern expectations of status and style.

By focusing on items that combine prestige with fashion, Riot signals an understanding of what resonates with both players and audiences. The necklace represents recognition that competitive success now extends into digital and social spaces.
