Los Angeles Valiant (stylized as VΛLIΛNT) was an American professional Overwatch esports team representing the city of Los Angeles, California. Valiant competed in the Overwatch League (OWL) as a member of the league's West region. Founded in 2017, Los Angeles Valiant was one of twelve founding members of the OWL and one of two professional Overwatch teams based in Los Angeles (the other, the Los Angeles Gladiators).
The team played out of Los Angeles from 2018 to 2020; in that time, the team won a midseason tournament title and reached the season playoffs twice. The Valiant relocated to China ahead of the 2021 season, a decision that was met with heavy criticism, and Chinese esports organizing LinGan e-Sports began operating the team. The Valiant became the second team in OWL history to have a winless season, after going 0–16 in the 2021 season. The team relocated back to North America for the 2023 season. They disbanded following the shutdown of the Overwatch League.
