Ludwig Questions Shopify Rebellion’s Future in VALORANT

GameRiv reports that streamer and Shopify Rebellion co-owner Ludwig criticized Riot Games after the organization was not selected for the 2027–2028 VCT partnership cycle. He argued that the investment may not be worthwhile and suggested the team should consider leaving VALORANT. The report also notes that Riot’s 2027 format is designed to give non-partner teams routes into major events and potential prize earnings. Ludwig’s comments reflect his own view of the esports business model; they do not, by themselves, confirm that Shopify Rebellion has decided to withdraw. Source: GameRiv.
