About
The Star is the Community
#BrownieVAL (pronounced "brown-knee-val") is a series of cross-community events hosted by Browntul featuring small communities bonding together in a tournament-like environment. Players come together in a cross-rank, for-fun experience where they can represent their community leaders and foster friends with their sister communities, all while working their way towards championship glory.
In #BrownieVAL, the star is the community, not the host. With the rise of draft-based streamer-hosted tournaments in VALORANT's North American region, players scramble to sign up months in advance without guarantees to play. Then, they have to face high-pressure situations with little familiarity around them. In #BrownieVAL, our focus on small communities allows us to provide these players opportunities in our tournaments by going back to the basics: bring your own community team to give them a taste of what it's like to play on the tournament stage together, all with the support of your friends watching our highly-rated broadcast production.
Every new tournament brings a unique opportunity to onboard aspiring game organizers and on-air talent to burst onto the scene. Whether you're a veteran or a newcomer to the esports scene, #BrownieVAL provides a welcoming opportunity to explore the grassroots tournament space. Try out casting and observing for the first time and learn people-management skills that can help you succeed beyond the esports space.

Broadcast
The predecessor to #BrownieVAL first started as a proof-of-concept event showing anyone can produce their own VALORANT tournament using the commonly used and free broadcasting software, OBS Studio. After becoming what is now known as #BrownieVAL, it has become known for its broadcast production making players feel like they have made it on the biggest stage.
#BrownieVAL's unique design emphasizes simplicity and an easy-to-understand viewing experience to highlight the stars of the tournament, the players. The logo, a turtle cosplaying the VALORANT agent “Killjoy,” is prominent across the overlay package and reminds us that new players and volunteers can combine their brain power, just like Killjoy, to bring together a wonderful experience regardless of their skill levels. A combination of red, green, brown and black colors shows professionalism and focus on making it an enjoyable viewing experience.
Our volunteers love to help out at #BrownieVAL, utilizing it as a place to learn new skills or hone their existing ones. Many move on to bigger events after their time at #BrownieVAL, helping grow the grassroots community.
