Riot Games to host its first ever International Valorant tournament in India
Today, Riot Games announced plans for its first ever International Valorant tournament in India in December. The tournament is organized in association with The Esports Club. The tournament starts December 14th and conclude on December 17th.
Manpho Convention Centre will host the four day event featuring the following teams:
Convergence won’t be the first event Riot Games has organized in India. Not too long ago, they had organized a community beach clean-up to celebrate Harbor’s one year release anniversary. Riot had also organized a launch event for Harbor a year prior.
Talking about the event, Riot’s Esports Lead for India & South Asia said
“Convergence is us at Riot saying thanks to our amazing fans in India, who have supported us since the launch of VALORANT in 2020. We have also since grown the India team to deliver such hyperlocal experiences to our players here. With Convergence, Indian fans will finally get to see some of their favorite VALORANT athletes perform in person and also interact with them off-stage. It will be a perfect ending to the 2023 VCT season and we are just getting started here in India for such international events”
The Founder and Managing Director of The Esports Club talked about partnering with Riot Games
“We are excited to partner with Riot Games to introduce their first ever international VALORANT tournament to the gaming community in India. This event will not only enhance the esports experiences in the country but also elevate India's presence on the global gaming stage.”
This will be the first time Riot will experience hosting events in India. If the event is successful, it’d open gateways to the future events and hopefully a Master’s Event.
