Team capsules, which have recently appeared in Valorant, have caused a real stir among fans of professional teams and have proven to be very popular. In the wake of this, the game's community began to take an interest in their future development and the possibility of adding new skins.
According to ValorINTEL, the director of esports for Valorant, Leo Faria, took an interest in the community's question and made some comments regarding the appearance of new skins. He stated that it is unlikely that skins for the most popular rifles, Vandal and Phantom, will be featured in team sets, because they will be used in championship sets.
We probably want to reserve the most premium inventory, such as Phantom and Vandal, for Champions sets, because this collection works incredibly well both in terms of player experience and simply generates revenue for all teams in the VCT.
Remember, the team sets include: a unique Classic pistol skin with logos and animation, a player card with the background of the organization that released the set, and a weapon charm. Despite such a relatively modest content, team capsules have proven to be very popular, with Singapore's Paper Rex leading in sales among all organizations.
Note that the words of the esports director do not mean that Phantom and Vandal skins will never appear in team capsules. Most likely, their appearance will depend on the popularity of the next championship set, which will be released before the World Championship in 2024.
