March 8th is a day where we will highlight women, celebrate their achievements and talk about the challenges women face in their everyday lives. For us at Fact Revolution, this day means a lot, and we want to use this day to promote our team’s achievements and talk about why this day is so important.
Last year, our Valorant team fought their way to a grand final spot in the National Women’s League, and won the GamerGaels tournament at the end of the year. Norway’s largest women’s tournament ever. We are very proud of that, and are already looking forward to more tournaments in 2025.
Gaming and esports have long been an industry where girls and women have felt like a minority, and a place where you may have often encountered unpleasant gender-based comments. This is unfortunately something that is still a problem today, but we hope that more people will speak up when they see unfair treatment and stand up for our amazing women and treat them just like any other teammate.
Fact Revolution strive to make gaming and esports more equal and open for all genders. Women should be proud of their passion and commitment to gaming and esports. Because we are.
There is still a long way to go, but we will always fight for equality, women’s rights, and for an safe environment our amazing women can thrive in. Not just on the Women’s Day, but every. single. day.
Happy Women’s Day everyone!🧡
Imagine a gender equal world. A world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination. A world that's diverse, equitable, and inclusive. A world where difference is valued and celebrated. Together we can forge gender equality. Collectively for #IWD2025 we can all #AccelerateAction.
We are excited to announce that Chantal “Cee” Rohde from Germany is signing with us for 2025. She will be taking over the spot previously held by Maiza, who announced her departure earlier this year.
Rohde has big shoes to fill, but we are confident that she is the right choice for both the team and our organization. With her broad international experience, which she shares with our Polish player Karolina “Anka” Reszka, we know Rohde will be an important addition to the team.
Our lineup for 2025 is now complete, with “Cee” now on the roster, and “Anka” who signed with us in late November, together with our Norwegian core of “Minari”, “Zara” and “Nanisan” who joined our organization in August 2024.Â

About FACT Valorant
Our Valorant team was formed in August 2024, with an announcement that reached over 100,000 people on X. Since then, we have competed in The National Women’s League, where we made it to the grand finals and secured second place. Being based in Norway, we also participate in European and Northern European tournaments.
After evaluating the direction of the team, we recently made the tough decision to part ways with one of our players, as her playstyle didn’t align with the style we want to move forward with. We’re now excited to find the right player who fits our vision and can help us achieve even greater success.
Interested?
If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you! Please reach out via the contact form, or DM our IGL directly on X, minari (@01minari) / X
