VCT to host Agent Showcase Showmatch at VALORANT Masters Santiago

The VALORANT Champions Tour has officially announced via its social media accounts that it will be hosting a special showmatch ahead of the Grand Finals of VALORANT Masters Santiago, and this one comes with a major reveal attached. The showmatch will serve as the official showcase for Agent 30, the newest agent in VALORANT to join the roster.

While not a new concept, VCT's pre-Grand Finals showmatches have become a fan-favorite tradition. These events typically feature a colorful mix of international and regional content creators alongside professional players, split into two competing teams. Santiago is no exception, and the VCT has already confirmed the names of the two squads: Completo Gaming and Weones Malos.

Meet the Teams

Completo Gaming will be captained by Malena "Suga" Souto, the beloved desk host and analyst-turned-content creator. She'll be joined by Óscar "mixwell" Cañellas, the former G2 Esports player and universally recognized fan favorite, as well as SoyPan, the 25-year-old Argentine content creator bringing some South American flair to the lineup.

The final two additions to this roster brings back one of South America's favorites, Angelo "keznit" Mori. Although he was unable to be here with his team, he will be taking to the stage. The final member for Completo Gaming has been confirmed to be German DJ and producer Levi "BUNT." Wijk.

On the other side, Weones Malos will be led by tck10, a Brazilian streamer under the Cloud9 banner. His squad includes Paula "bstrdd" Naguil, the Chilean pro player currently competing for MIBR GC, and Daniel "furq" Furquim, a Brazilian semi-pro and streamer for Team Solid.

Joining them are two high-profile stars that few could have seen coming. 2022 Champions and 2024 Masters winner Gustavo "Sacy" Rossi joins the fray, alongside global pop-star Megan from girl-group Katseye.

What We Know About Agent 30

Details on the new agent remain sparse, but early teasers suggest Agent 30 could feature a healing ability reminiscent of both Sage and Skye. Perhaps most intriguingly, some speculation points toward Agent 30 being a functional replacement for Sage, potentially inheriting a revive ability — though Riot Games has yet to confirm this officially.

Alongside the new agent, Riot will also showcase a new game mode during the showmatch. However, unlike the Agent 30 leaks and teasers, Riot Games have not let slip even a single detail about this new game mode. However, we can deduce from the existence of this showmatch that it will be a traditional 5v5 mode, rather than being a smaller format.

The showmatch promises to be a spectacular blend of entertainment and intrigue. With fan-favorite personalities, a new game mode and a brand-new agent on full display, it's shaping up to be an unmissable curtain-raiser before the Santiago Grand Finals crown their champion.
