Vanta and the U.S. Space Force Launch Quantum Esports Series

The U.S. Space Force has launched the Quantum Esports Series, a groundbreaking esports league designed to cultivate and showcase the next generation of aspiring professional gamers. Powered by the U.S. Space Force and operated in partnership with Vanta, this 11-week tournament series will feature intense competition in VALORANT and Rocket League, with $20,000 in prize money and thousands of dollars in swag up for grabs.
To ensure a platform for emerging stars, players who have reached the top 32 in the VALORANT Champions Tour (VCT) or Rocket League Championship Series (RLCS) within the last 12 months are ineligible to compete. Each split will feature 16 teams per game, and every participating team will receive free expert coaching from Vanta, providing invaluable development opportunities. The goal is to elevate teams on the cusp of professional play and give them a real chance to break into the pro scene.
“The U.S. Space Force recognizes the strong connection between the skills required for competitive gaming and the critical thinking abilities essential to our mission. Just as esports demands strategic thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork, so does defending our nation in the space domain. The Quantum Esports Series is a unique way to connect with talented individuals who possess these valuable skills, and we’re excited to support their growth,” said Mr. Barry Dickey, Director of Strategic Marketing, Air Force Accessions Center, Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph, Texas.
“Esports goes beyond competition; it serves as a proving ground for leadership, strategic thinking, communication, and resilience. Through the Quantum Esports Series, we are excited to help players hone these skills. We are proud to partner with the U.S. Space Force on this initiative, which represents an exciting opportunity to nurture and elevate the next generation of top-tier talent and advance the future of competitive gaming,” said Jimmy Roche, Chief Commercial Officer at Vanta.
