Valorant Champions 2023: How to Claim Twitch and YouTube Drops
Here are a few basic prerequisites that players need to keep in mind before they start watching the tournament livestream for the rewards.
First and foremost, in order to receive the Twitch and YouTube drops, players have to obviously watch the livestream of the Valorant Champions 2023.
Do make sure that the channel on which you are watching the live broadcast has drops enabled on it.
After watching for a certain period of time, the available reward will automatically unlock for you to grab.
Most importantly, double-check and make sure that your Riot Games account is connected with YouTube and Twitch so that you can receive the rewards in Valorant.
Here is how you can check and connect your Riot Games account to both streaming platforms.
Connecting Twitch to Riot Games Account
Log into your Riot Games account.
Go to Twitch and log in there as well. Click on your profile icon in the top right corner of the screen.
On Twitch itself, go to 'Settings' and then 'Connections', here find the Riot Games account option.
Simply click on the 'Connect' button and authorize the connection to link your Twitch and Riot Games account.
Connecting YouTube to Riot Games Account
Log into your Riot Games account.
Go to YouTube and log in there as well. Click on your profile icon in the top right corner of the screen.
On YouTube itself, go to 'Settings' and then 'Connected Apps', here find the Riot Games account option.

One thing that all players need to keep in mind is that not all live broadcasts of the tournament will drop these free rewards. To be on the safe side you can watch the livestream via the official Twitch and YouTube channels of Valorant.
Maybe an official list of all the drop-enabled livestreams will be announced by Valorant at a later point in time. You can always enjoy watching it along with your favorite streamer in one of the official watch parties, but do check if the drops are enabled or not.
