Seoul Set to Host Valorant Champions 2024
In an exciting announcement for esports fans, Riot Games has revealed that the Valorant Champions Tour (VCT) 2024 will take place in Seoul, South Korea. This marks the first time the prestigious event will be hosted in the Asia-Pacific region, running from August 1-24, 2024. Although the final venue details are still under wraps, this historic event promises to be a landmark moment for Champions in Asian territory.
Jake Sin, Riot Games’ head of VALORANT Esports APAC, shared that Seoul was the ideal choice due to South Korea's longstanding dominance in the global esports scene. The country is celebrated for its vibrant gaming community, extensive network of experienced partners, and cost accessibility, making it a perfect fit for hosting a global esports event of this magnitude.
The decision to bring the VCT to Seoul is seen as a significant move to engage with fans in the Asia-Pacific region directly, especially since there has never been a Champions event in APAC before. This initiative aims to deliver a world-class experience for the community, highlighting Riot Games' commitment to meeting fans wherever they are.
