Aditya ChaudhuriVideo game publisher and developer Riot Games and gaming data firm GRID Esports have teamed up to launch the VALORANT Data Portal (VDP), which will be the game’s go-to-place for in-game data.
The VDP is a first-of-its-kind in the First-person shooter genre and will give teams a chance to use the platform to search, query and filter data for multiple reasons, such as match analysis, scrim assessments, talent evaluation, and more.
The VDP is automated and can be accessed through a secure API or an application-based user interface. It will be available to all 30 VALORANT Champions Tour (VCT) partner teams, which means India’s Global Esports will also be able to use the VDP.
Riot Games has stated that the VDP project is part of its goal of growing the competitive VALORANT scene.
John Knauss, Lead of Competitive Data Programs for Esports at Riot Games, commented:
“We are excited to be working with GRID on crafting the future of esports data for the Valorant Champions Tour. GRID as a partner is highly aligned with our goals around data accessibility and Riot’s core values. The Valorant Data Portal is the first step in our shared vision for how we make official Valorant data more broadly available, starting with our professional teams.”
Moritz Maurer, the CEO of GRID Esports, said:
“The GRID and Riot’s shared vision for the esports ecosystem powered by game data is becoming a reality with the release of The Valorant Data Portal. We aim to change the way fans interact with competitive titles through data, and we are proud to partner on this mission with Riot Games.“
