VCT Americas Playoffs 2025

In Valorant, a single pixel makes all the difference! For the 2025 VCT Americas Playoffs we were invited by Riot Games and Valorant E-sports to produce their music video “Pixel Perfect”.  

As the teams fight for their shot at the VCT Americas trophy, the agents bring dope action moves to the screen, facing off against their rivals. In the best Histeria! style, we merged 3D backgrounds created entirely on Blender with a gripping full cel animation of beloved agents, pro players and effects.

Director Jan Xavier says: “Riot releases an insane amount of great animated videos for their global e-sports events. As insane as they are, at this point most of them choose a somewhat similar style. We wanted to stand out in the middle of this, even working with a smaller scope, as one of the many regions.”
