Riot Games announces 2v2 UK Valorant Skirmish tournament
Riot Games has announced a tournament for UK players in Valorant’s new 2v2 mode, Skirmish.
Skirmish mode will put the teams of two onto a small map and have them play a best-of-19 (first to 10).
The event will begin online before the tournament concludes in-person at the Red Bull Gaming Sphere in London on November 30th.
Participants must be able to attend the Live Finals at the venue from 12:00 pm until 6:30 pm.
Meanwhile, G2 Esports just won the Red Bull Homeground Valorant tournament in New York.
The event will feature a prize pool of £1500 with the following distributions going to the top four duos:
- 1st – £800
- 2nd – £400
- 3rd – £200
- 4th – £100
To compete, players can sign up on the Challengermode website for VUKC Online Qualifier 1, which will take place on November 22nd.
Qualifier 2 is then due to take place the next day on November 23rd.
The online qualifiers will be played across a double-elimination format, with the top eight from each qualifier progressing to the live finals.
However, more players will still be able to qualify via an offline Last Chance Play-In on November 30th at 11 am before the main event starts.
Players can apply to compete in the Last Chance Qualifier during the week of the finals.
Additionally, some select slots in the tournament will be given to university students.
The Grand Finals will see 32 duos battle in the Red Bull Gaming Sphere in front of a live audience.
Fans wishing to attend the Valorant UK Circuit 2v2 Skirmish Live Finals and watch the games can purchase tickets on Eventbrite.
Speaking ahead of the event, Organised Play Manager Will Attwood said:
“The Valorant 2v2 Skirmish coming to the UK is an awesome opportunity for players to show off their skills and teamwork in a new way within Valorant.
” I can’t wait to see all the crazy plays people will come up with in this new, intense format.”
