In a heartfelt tribute to the late professional Valorant player Gizem "Luie" Harmankaya, Riot Games unveils a poignant masterpiece — the 'Luie' player card. This unique tribute, set to be distributed as a free reward, stands as a lasting homage to Luie's indelible mark on the Valorant community. 

Valorant Pays Tribute to Late Valorant Pro Luie 

Hailing from Turkey, Luie's untimely departure in the wake of devastating earthquakes earlier this year sent shockwaves through the Valorant world. Having graced teams such as Galaktiucos Sirencs, Vivace Vista, and Unknownpros Female during her tenure in the Valorant Game Changers scene, Luie left an enduring legacy in the competitive gaming arena.

Valorant, extending heartfelt condolences to Luie's family and friends, expressed profound sorrow at the loss. In a gesture of remembrance, the game developers swiftly introduced the 'Gizem' player title in Episode 6 Act 3, a fitting tribute available to players reaching tier five of the battle pass with ease. 

Months later, Valorant takes a step further to ensure Luie's everlasting presence in the game. The recent 7.10 patch introduces a specially crafted player card, discovered by the vigilant Valorant data miner Shiick on Twitter. The 'Luie' card, adorned with a distinctive purple jersey featuring Luie's name and player number 7, captures the essence of her gaming spirit. Additional details include a Killjoy beanie, bunny-ear-shaped headgear, and posters showcasing beloved agents like Jett, Sova, Raze, and Killjoy. 

Anticipated to be a cherished possession for every Valorant player, the 'Luie' card will be distributed as a free reward upon logging into the game. Accompanied by the poignant text, 'This one's for Luie' and 'Celebrate the life of Gizem 'Luie' Harmankaya,' this exclusive item serves as a collective memento for the gaming community.
