The eight best Valorant teams from NA Challengers Split 1 are about to clash in a $30,000 mid-season tournament. Here is everything you need to know about the Mid-Season Face Off.
Drawing inspiration from League of Legends, NA Challengers will have its own Mid-Season Invitational between splits. The top eight teams from the first split — four per group — will lock horns in a week-long tournament that will offer $30,000.
In addition to prize money, the Mid-Season Face Off will have circuit points (VCL) on the line. These are used to reseed the Challengers groups for Split 2 and will ultimately determine the eight teams making it to the Challengers playoffs. By performing well in Face Off, teams will be one step closer to Ascension and, consequently, the VCT Americas league.
Below is everything you need to know about the NA Challengers Mid-Season Face Off. This article will be updated as more information becomes available.
