We are glad to present you that today the most anticipated and the first in a row and the largest tournament in the discipline VALORANT from its creators Riot Games - VALORANT Champions 2021 starts. For a total prize pool of $ 1,000,000 and the grand prize of $ 350,000, 16 teams, the best in their regions, will face off in a fierce battle.

Champions in 2021 - this is our attempt to turn VALORANT the global eSports worthy of your attention. An expanded competition calendar will give the stars the opportunity to rise and the teams to assert themselves both internationally and regionally. Fans will see what their idols are in local competitions, and then how they perform on the world stage.

Well, let's talk a little about the formalities - the rules and order of the matches.

All matches, except for the grand final, will be played in the Bo3 format. Final - Bo5.

4 groups have already been formed, 4 random teams in each by the method of drawing lots. They will play two matches with each other. From each group, 2 winning teams advance to the playoffs. And 8 losing teams will fly into the net for the elimination, from where only one will come out.

And in the very first match, the Korean team Vision Strikers and the Thai FULL SENSE will meet. Considering that this will also be the first meeting between the two teams, the opening of VALORANT Champions 2021 promises to be at least interesting, if not hot!

We remind you that the broadcast will start at 17:00 Moscow time. You can watch the match and read the analytics for it here.
