Inspired by the onna-musha of japan – ancient female warriors who fought alongside samurai – we’ve created an arena for modern female warriors to compete. This month, coinciding the peak of the cherry blossom season, the Knights will host the Sakura Cup – a women’s valorant tournament for top players to showcase their skills and compete for a $1,000 prize pool.
