Riot Games stepped foot in the Tactical FPS genre with their magnum-opus, Valorant, in 2020.

Even three years after its release, Valorant continues to be immensely popular across the globe. According to the data from SullyGnome, Valorant has been the 3rd most-watched game on Twitch for the past year, with an average viewership of 129,378.

Following Valorant’s highly anticipated release, it was picked up by numerous prominent internet personalities. These include figures from various backgrounds, ranging from former professional players in other games, such as summit1g and Shroud, to notable variety streamers, like xQc and Ludwig.

While every game has its share of popular streamers, what makes Valorant stand out from the other FPS’ is the presence and success of female streamers, who thrive and achieve exceptional viewership numbers. This phenomenon extends beyond female streamers who were already established figures prior to the game's release. Several women have gained recognition and built a substantial following solely through their dedication to playing Valorant on Twitch.
