Riot adds touching tribute to deceased VALORANT pro in new battle pass

With the April 25 release of VALORANT’s 6.08 patch, developer Riot Games has permanently enshrined a fallen professional player into the game itself via an unlockable reward in the season’s battle pass.

Turkish VALORANT player Gizem “Luie” Harmankaya passed away in early Feb. 2023 during the Turkish and Syrian earthquakes that ultimately claimed over 50,000 lives. Her former Game Changers squad Unknownpros shared news of her death after it was reported the star was trapped underneath rubble caused by the earthquakes for almost three days.
