After the ban of PUBG Mobile in India, the esports ecosystem faced a major setback, but this was also the rise of games like valorant. Even though there wasn’t any valorant tournament hosted by Riot games officially last year, this year Riot Games announced their entry into the Indian esports scene with the announcement of the Valorant Conquerors Championship (VCC).
Valorant Conquerors Championship is a Qualifying tournament for the Asia – Pacific last chance qualifiers, which is a part of the 2021 Valorant Champions Tour series. This is the only way in which South Asian teams can qualify for the Valorant Champions tour, which also includes India.
Valorant Conquerors Championship Prize pool:
The winner of Valorant Conquerors Championship will win the VCC Champions title along with a lion’s share of the $33,000 US Dollar prize pool.
A total of eight slots is allocated for the Valorant Conquerors Championship main event:
