The VALORANT Champions 2023 skin bundle has exceeded all expectations, raising over $20 million USD for the participating teams. This amount is nearly ten times more than the event’s prize pool, making it the most profitable Champions bundle to date.
Riot Games announced on August 24 that the bundle has already generated over $40 million in total revenue. The teams receive 50 percent of the proceeds, ensuring that every qualifying team is rewarded. This additional funding helps support the teams, regardless of their placement in the tournament.
The previous Champions bundles pale in comparison to the success of the 2023 edition. The 2021 bundle raised just over $18 million, with $9 million going to the teams. In 2022, the additional prize pool reached $16 million, providing each team with an extra $1 million. However, the base prize pool for the 2023 event is already $2.25 million, offering a substantial reward for the eventual champions.
The Champions bundle will be available for purchase until August 29, allowing fans to continue supporting their favorite players. As long as the bundle continues to sell, it is expected to be the most popular one yet, further boosting the prize pool and providing a significant bonus for the teams.
