Riot Games has officially revealed schedule and other details about the upcoming NA Stage 1 of the 2021 Valorant Champions Tour.<\/p>\n

The Valorant Champions Tour<\/a> is a brand new competitive structure for Valorant which will span across all regions and offer a platform for all players who want to compete and show their skill.<\/p>\n

Naturally, one of the most exciting regions to watch and follow will be the North American region, where some of the best players and teams are getting ready for the fierce competition awaiting them once the Tour starts.<\/p>\n

Riot has chosen to continue their partnership with Nerd Street Gamers, and they will be the official NA Stage 1 organizers, in charge of registration, operations and production of the Challengers events and the Master tournaments.<\/p>\n

But, unfortunately, due to COVID-19 and safety concerns, Stage 1 will be completely remote and online-only.<\/p>\n

In order for teams to be eligible for Open Qualifiers, all players must be Immortal 1+ in Episode 1: ACT 3 or Episode 2: ACT 1.<\/p>\n
