The start of something big for Valorant

Valorant has held tournaments before, but nothing even close to $200,000. This could be only the beginning of many more tournaments to come. Riot Games’ strategy heavily relies on third-party organizers in the beginning and moving forth with their own sets of competitions afterwards.

Earlier, many players reported that the game is not ready for a global launch, citing many technical issues. Riot replied that they had cleared most of the problems, but it still remains to be seen.

There is still no clue on all the Esports teams that are a part of the tournament. Big names are sure to join, and that would help promote the game further.
