games8 val

is there ever going to be one

I think it is unlikely.
Games8 is a festival of multiple esport tournaments.
The festival took place from july-september in 2023.
This would directly clash with the VCT season major events.

It's unlikely that they would want to host a big valorant event:

• A) With non-vct teams during july-september
• B) A standalone event outside the festival

Also Gamers8 isn't Riot vetted; considering the fiasco Riot had with some MENA/Saudi sponsors, Riot probably keeps a close eye on the situation. Calyx is the only vetted TO handling Riot events so far in MENA

Riot is very careful when it comes to Saudi Arabian investment and usually only really keeps it regionally due to the risk of everyone trying to get a piece of the Saudi Esports Investment Fund cake. At the moment only Calyx is clear to take care of the regional stuff in MENA, but Gamers8 has had both a VALORANT and League of Legends tournament but only regional teams were playing in it for reasons listed above.
