G-Loot is partnering with Riot Games to launch an off-season VALORANT tournament that will take place from October 19-27th and will feature a $50,000 USD prize pool. The G-Loot VALORANT Clash tournament will be hosted in Stockholm, Sweden, and all qualifying teams and VCT EMEA partners will receive invitations. Riot Games has not announced any sponsorships or partnerships with tournament organizers for ‘The Clash’ series with G-Loot, but fans can expect some new and exciting collaborations.
“Part of what makes G-Loot special is that we want to open esports up to a wider audience. Our hope is that G-Loot VALORANT Clash will soon see even more new teams playing. We’ve seen a lot of players starting their journey on G-Loot to eventually become pros. We look forward to seeing underdog stories in this tournament as well,” said Simon Sundén, VP and Head of Esports at G-Loot.
