Content creators Ludwig Ahgren and Tarik ‘tarik’ Celik are teaming up for a North American-based Valorant invitational for the esport’s offseason period. Here is everything you need to know about the event.
The Ludwig x Tarik Invitational is part of the official Riot Games offseason tournament calendar and will kick off the 2023 Valorant esports season in style. The tournament’s initial announcement says that the invitational will bring together the best Valorant teams and biggest creators in the space for a two-day LAN event.
The invitational is set to start on January 14 and will feature international teams as well as creator exhibition matches with the two hosts and other streamers.
