The Valorant Champions Tour (VCT) is the most prestigious S-tier tournament in Valorant. 16 top rosters from all over the world qualify to compete against each other to become the world's best team by acquiring the Valorant Champions’ crown.
To get to the top, teams need to play in coordination and have the ultimate agent synergy among themselves. The Controller is a very crucial role in the game, and Brimstone is one such Agent from the class who helps the team achieve victory.

Some pro players showed awesome gameplay with the heroic old man in VCT 2022.
