Esports organisation Team Vitality, the esports organisation backed by London-based investor Tej Kohli, has announced the Vitality European Open by Corsair.
This is the third iteration of Riot Games’ Valorant Ignition Series. The main event will take place from July 10-12th on twitch.tv/vitality where the best eight teams will fight for a share of €15,000 and the opportunity to showcase their skills on the world stage.
Vitality say the event demonstrates their ambition to be a leading force in the burgeoning Valorant competitive scene, using the event to talent scout potential star players.
Qualifiers for the Vitality European Open kick off this weekend on July 5th, with a total of 128 teams going head-to-head in a single-elimination bracket for the eight available slots in the main event.
Here, there will be a group stage where each team will face-off before heading to the double-elimination bracket playoffs. The Grand Finals will then conclude with a best-of-five.
“Ever since Valorant was revealed, it was very obvious that it was going to shake up the competitive ecosystem,” said Fabien ‘Neo’ Devide, president and co-founder at Team Vitality.
“At Team Vitality we are really excited to host the Vitality European Open and provide a stage for the emergence of some top-class talent. We have big plans in Valorant and we look forward to seeing some fantastic players emerge.”
