What is Valorant Spike Nations?

Spike Nations is an annual tournament that sees national teams go head-to-head and aims to unite ambassadors, players, coaches and fans in each nation.

It has a €15,000 prize pool this year, with €8,000 for first place, €4,000 for second, €1,500 for third and €1,500 for fourth.

Team UK are one of six teams, with the others including Spain, Italy, France, Türkiye and Germany. They will battle each other in a best-of-one single round robin format, with the top four teams advancing.

There will be two phases: the national phase this month, and the international phase in November to early December 2024.

From 18 November, the international phase will take place. The six countries will play against each other in a Single Round Robin format until 27 November. A few days later, the top four teams will face each other in the Semi-Finals on Bo3 (1 December), with the ambition to qualify for the Grand Final, which will be held on Bo5 on 2 December.

Team ambassadors are able to draft players from VCT EMEA, Valorant Challengers and Game Changers tournaments, before streaming a set of trials to pick their main six players.

The semi-finals will then be a best-of-three, ahead of the best-of-five grand final.

The competition, which is organised by GGTech Entertainment, is part of Riot Games’ official VCT Off Season event framework and is supported by Twitch.
