And, while a lineup of invitational tournaments and smaller-scale events doesn’t exactly fix those issues, it does give players an opportunity to for players to compete and gives viewers something to watch as they anxiously await the 2024 season.
It’s been revealed that the OFF//SEASON will host at least 43 events around the world, some of which are open bracket and welcome new competitors while others are purely invitational.

The biggest winners from the proposed OFF//SEASON line up were the Americas region. With 17 events across North and South America, the region will be getting a lot of action. Meanwhile, Europe isn’t too happy with only getting nine events in comparison.
Valorant Esports has been showing some of its highest-level gameplay yet. And the most trash talk fans have seen yet. But big names in the Valorant community have voiced support – Tarik wants more trash talk at Valorant Champions: “We should pay them when they talk sh**.”
