The statistics can speak for themselves. With an average of 14 million players on PC every month \u2013 since its release in June 2020 \u2013 Riot Games\u2019 Valorant has become one of the most popular FPS (first-person shooter) games that have taken the world by storm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While much of the Valorant\u2019s popularity can be attributed to the players hailing from North America and Western Europe, the Southeast Asian Region has also ranked as the game\u2019s top region \u2013 with Philippines, alongside Hong Kong and Taiwan, emerging as the main drivers of Valorant\u2019s popularity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the pandemic, which forced many internet cafes to close and prohibited many gamers from playing, Valorant still thrived thanks to live streaming platforms \u2013 like Twitch, YouTube, and Facebook \u2013 which provided virtual entertainment during lockdowns, gaining viewers across the world to over 8.2 billion hours (almost twice the figures from 2019 based on the reports from Streamlabs<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And what more other way to engage better Valorant\u2019s Asian players than to have them represented in the game. Hence, the hype when Riot Games (also the developer of the team-based game League of Legends and creator of the crazy good animated series Arcane on Netflix) revealed that their newest agent, Neon, is a Filipina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s What You Have to Know About Valorant Agent 19, Neon<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coming from the country\u2019s capital, Manila, Philippines, Valorant\u2019s newest agent, Neon, is a feisty femme fatale known for her mobility and ability on engaging enemies head-on. She sports a cobalt blue hair, with yellow highlights, and uses electrical energy and lightning-fast speed to bring down those who go against her squad\u2019s way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get to Know Valorant Agent Neon\u2019s Cebuana Cosplayer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Few months before the official release of Valorant\u2019s newest agent, Neon, the Cebuana cosplayer Charess (famously known as @charechii on Twitter<\/a>) was contacted by one of the biggest gaming communities and creative collective in the country, RUMBLE ROYALE, for a project with Riot Games. Like many, Charess is also a huge fan of Riot Games and has even cosplayed the game\u2019s other characters (including Viper, Seraphine, and Evelynn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Much to her surprise, it was during such eventful meeting that Charess learned that she would be the first Filipina cosplayer to bring to life Valorant\u2019s newest agent, Neon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proving how fitted she was for the role, Charess stunned the Riot Games community with her Neon cosplay \u2013 perfectly nailing those cobalt blue hair styled in twin tails matched with Neon\u2019s cropped vest, leggings, and impressive props. The Cebuana credited the success of such endeavor to her team who passionately and accurately put together Neon\u2019s costume \u2013 from styling to the overall production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aside from Charess\u2019 epic cosplay of Neon, it is also worth noting that Neon\u2019s Filipino background does end not there. Her voice actress is also another talented Filipina, Vanille Velasquez, who during an interview shared Neon\u2019s other Filipino features like her ability to speak in Tagalog, practice of calling family members abroad, and bringing out the country\u2019s tropical beach vibe in her room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
