VALORANT Game Changers

OverActive is investing in the MAD Lions brand by signing the Spanish roster, which creates more opportunities in esports for women in Spain. At the same time, it gives the female community additional points of contact.
OverActive has a proven focus on supporting women to develop and have the same opportunities as men in esports. Investing in this all-female team reinforces its ongoing effort to promote women’s esports.
The organization demonstrates with facts its commitment to women and promoting gender equality. For example, overActive recently partnered with The Collective to promote women’s esports, art, culture, and music.
