The extremely hyped tactical shooter Valorant has dominated the streaming platform Twitch for weeks – mainly because you can earn access to the closed beta by simply watching. But since not all of the hundreds of thousands of viewers can get access, Riot Games at least wants the disappointed fans a small consolation price spend.

While numerous players are already regularly diving into the 5v5 battles of the multiplayer shooter hopefuls' beta and diligently honing their skills for the official release in the summer, thousands of players are still waiting for access.
So that these do not go completely empty in the worst case, the developers are now distributing small gifts: All players who have linked their Riot account to their Twitch account and watched Valorant streams for at least two hours will receive at the latest an exclusive player card at the start of the open beta phase:
"As a thank you for all your interest in the VALORANT Closed Beta and for hanging out with the Twitch community, we have a small gift: An exclusive Player Card for everyone who has watched enough streams to qualify for the Closed Beta. Also if you don't make it, you'll find them in your account at launch. "

The player card, which Riot now distributes to all loyal fans, shows artwork by playable agent Brimstone and an allusion to the Twitch chat, in which many fans spent several hours: "See you in chat".
Player cards are a kind of avatar or profile picture, with which players can show special achievements or just show their favorite agents. You can find a complete list of all Player Cards currently in the game on the Valorant Wiki.
