Erena announces the $10,000 NA VALORANT Console Open

Erena has announced the NA VALORANT Console Open with a $10,000 prize pool. The event is open to all eligible players and will exclusively take place on the console version of VALORANT.

On top of promising fierce competition, the NA VALORANT Console Open will offer many a first chance to watch or test out VALORANT’s recent 10.0 update including the new agent, Tejo, and the reintroduction of Fracture and Lotus to the competitive map pool.

The NA VALORANT Console Open is a tournament where all North American VALORANT console players can compete! Whether you are a VALORANT console export or have never played VALORANT on console before, all players can compete both for placement prizing and Bounties for a total prize pool of $10,000!

The event is open to all players in the United States (including Puerto Rico), Mexico, and Canada. Players must be at least 13 years old and play the event on a console (Xbox Series X|S or PlayStation 5).

Teams can register using the event’s start.gg page. Players must register as a complete team of five. The first player of a team must invite their team members who will then complete their own registration. Players who are looking for teammates can connect using the dedicated channel in the event’s Discord server.

Teams must complete registration by January 24, 2025 at 5 p.m. ET.

The first day of competition begins on January 25, 2025 at 1 p.m. ET. Day 1 will feature all registered teams in an open bracket. 

The second day of competition will take place on January 26, 2025 at 3 p.m. ET. Day 2 will feature the top eight teams from Day 1 in a closed bracket to determine the champion!
