VALORANT has officially teamed up with global girl group KATSEYE for the Game Changers Championship 2025. The collaboration centres on a brand-new version of the group’s track M.I.A, which serves as the official anthem. The cinematic featuring the song premieres today, November 11.
KATSEYE first teased the collaboration through a short video on X. The clip showed members wearing official Game Changers Championship 2025 merch, holding the Wingman plushie, and performing parts of the new M.I.A version. A preview of the track, titled “M.I.A (VALORANT Game Changers Version) (Preview)”, was released on YouTube on November 7.
VALORANT later confirmed the cinematic on X with the caption “Feel the pressure, they’re go getters”. Fans quickly connected the dots. KATSEYE News also highlighted the teaser, noting the phrase “kiss kiss, goodnight | 11:11”, hinting at today’s premiere.
KATSEYE Meets a Global Esports Stage
KATSEYE consists of Daniela, Lara, Manon, Megan, Sophia, and Yoonchae. The group formed through the 2023 reality competition series Dream Academy. They debuted in June last year with “Debut” and later gained traction with their single “Touch“.
The members come from the Philippines, South Korea, Switzerland, and the US, giving the group a strong global identity focused on representation. Fans emphasise how fitting this partnership is, especially since VALORANT Game Changers also spotlights women in esports.
