FPX ‘shocked and disappointed’ by EMEA VALORANT partnership snub
Riot Games released the list of VALORANT teams that were granted partnership this morning. Shortly after, FunPlus Phoenix, which is a China-based organization that fielded players from various EMEA countries, released a statement relaying its disappointment in not being selected.
“Today we share the unfortunate news that we are not selected by Riot for the next VCT partnership program in 2023, which means we’ll be unable to compete in the highest-level Valorant league next year,” the statement reads. “On behalf of the FPX esports, we’re shocked and disappointed [regarding] this result.”
