The tournament is created in collaboration with the Twitch Women's Alliance . The Twitch Women's Alliance program is dedicated to supporting women creators on Twitch. The primary objectives are to build a direct support network, develop targeted educational and social programs, and increase representation of women in the Twitch community. Twitch Women's Alliance aims to strengthen the Twitch community and amplify, support and uplift all women streamers.
Raidiant.gg is an initiative and content hub focused on celebrating and championing opportunities for women gamers. As the next stage of Dignitas' women's initiative, Raidiant provides educational, social and competitive resources for gamers. In June 2021 , alongside Dignitas and Riot Games, Raidiant collaborated on the Verizon VCT Game Changers, an all Women's VALORANT tournament which was one one of the most viewed Women's esports events in history with over 400,000 viewed hours and more than 30,000 concurrent peak viewers.
Rocket League esports has historically been a highly sought after opportunity for brands seeking an entryway into esports. With the game's similarities to traditional football, paired with rocket powered flying cars, it's an easily understandable esport title that's brand friendly. Further, the Raidiant Rocket League Series will welcome a truly diverse audience from across the globe as both men and women are expected to tune into the stream.
Raidiant partner, VIRUS International, will be providing all competitors with custom Raidiant jerseys for their participation. NYX Professional Makeup, a founding partner of Raidiant, will support the event through content and product giveaways.
