Get ready for something big, Riot Games announced the dates of the first Valorant tournament. A competition that will not only bring together the best players, it will also serve as the starting gun for something even bigger: making the title one of the new and great proposals in the world of eSports.
First Strike: Europe by Valorant
Valorant was officially launched in the middle of the year, but for months ago the title of Riot Games – creators of the greatest eSport game in history, League of Legends – had already managed to generate a lot of noise and expectation. So much so that on Twitch it accumulated hours and hours of playback of related content.
Those hours within the platform are maintained at a good level and that is why possibly Riot Games has considered that the right time has come to launch its first official tournament produced entirely by them. Because until now, the developed one helped in the making of other tournaments, but there were always other companies involved in them. Now it is not like that, and this is important for the game itself, its community and mainly for the future of the title as an eSport game.
So, from next November 9 until November 22, the Valorant open and online qualifying tournament phase will be held. During this period, four separate tournaments will be held, two for each of the weeks, in which all teams that so wish may participate. Each of these turners will serve to determine a first classification that will go on to play the main phase of the tournament.
That main phase of First Strike: Europe will take place between December 3-6. In it, the eight best teams will fight for the final victory. For them, during the quarterfinals and semifinals, best-of-three series will be played and the final, which will be held on the 6th, will be played to the best of five. The team that achieves victory will be crowned First Strike: Europe champion .
