Riot Games made a captivating announcement on the evening of May 22 as they unveiled the highly anticipated VCT Masters Tokyo trophy. Surprisingly, despite its unconventional design, the reaction from fans has been overwhelmingly positive. While avid VALORANT enthusiasts have offered various interpretations, such as seeing references to agent KAY/O's leg or agent Yoru's mask, these theories remain unconfirmed by Riot.

Among the speculations, one fan took to Reddit to describe the trophy as resembling a "weird prosthetic leg." Nevertheless, the majority of fans have embraced the unique design and seized the opportunity to take a jab at BLAST for their design of the Paris Major trophy. This playful banter has only further fueled the well-known feud between the CS:GO and VALORANT communities, which ignited when Riot Games launched their first-person shooter in 2020.

Arguably the most innovative design to date in Riot's collection of VALORANT trophies, the VCT Masters Tokyo trophy has captured the attention and admiration of fans worldwide. Its aesthetic allure has even intensified the fervor of supporters, who now express an amplified desire for their favorite team to secure the coveted prize. Social media platforms, particularly Twitter, have become a hotbed of fan interactions, with one passionate supporter urging the players and coach of LOUD to "give your life for this."

As the VCT Masters Tokyo tournament approaches, anticipation continues to build, fueled by the positive reception of the trophy's distinctive design. With fans eagerly awaiting the competition, Riot Games has successfully added another element of excitement to the VALORANT esports scene.
