Valorant Reload Celebration: Where to watch, timings, and more

Valorant's 2022 events are coming to an end. The last official event was the LAN tournament of the Champions Tour Game Changer Championship, which was held in Berlin. Ever since, they've held multiple third-party tournaments, both LAN and online under the banner of Valorant Champions Tour OFF//SEASON 2022.

However, another tournament called RE//LOAD seems to be making its way to the gaming community soon. This will seemingly be a year-end event hosted by Crown Channel and Riot Games and is expected to host streamers, content creators, and a few pro players who will be competing against each other.
