Will yay return to professional VALORANT in 2027?

This market will resolve to "Yes" if Jaccob "yay" Whiteaker plays in at least one official match of a VALORANT Champions Tour (VCT) competition between January 1, 2027, 12:00 AM ET and December 31, 2027, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". VCT competitions include the VCT international leagues (Americas, EMEA, Pacific, and China), VCT Masters and Champions events, VCT Challengers leagues, and VCT Ascension events, including their official qualifiers. Playing means appearing in at least one map of an official match for a team, whether as a rostered player, substitute, or stand-in. Show matches, all-star events, and third-party tournaments that are not part of the VCT will not count. Signing with a team or being announced on a roster will not by itself count; yay must play an official VCT match within the window above. The primary resolution source for this market will be official match records from Riot Games and VCT tournament organizers, as reflected on Liquipedia (https://liquipedia.net/valorant) and VLR.gg; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
