What is the Valorant Ignition Series?
The Ignition Series was the first Riot-partner program that aimed to “build global recognition for top Valorant pros and teams.” Having teamed up with over 20 esports event organizers around the world, the Ignition Series provided players with the opportunity to build their region’s footprint in Valorant.
Speaking in their press release, Whalen ‘Magnus’ Rozelle (Senior Director of Global Esports at Riot Games) said: “We expect to see a combination of competitive open qualifiers, show matches, and invitationals featuring top players of the game.”
And that certainly was the cast. With a variety of tournaments on offer, Riot supported Valorant’s competitive ecosystem from amateur right through to the professional level.
