TOURNAMENT DETAILS

Ban maps, pick your agent and fight against other players in 1v1 Replication duels! Here's a picture of the lobby settings:

Matches will be in Replication mode as a Best-of-One (Bo1) series with the exception of the grand final which will be a Best-of-Three (Bo3) series. Diamond is the estimated average VALORANT rank of participants. Although skill disparity may be high, you are welcome to participate whether you're Iron 1 or Unranked or Radiant, in order to experience and get used to esports tournament formats.

PICKING MAPS // SIDES // SERVER

Maps will be picked this way unless both players agree on them:

• Player on the left side of the ChallengerMode lobby bans a map (for example, by typing in chat "-Ascent")
• The other player bans another map
• And so on until the last remaining map is picked.
• Finally, the player on the left side of the ChallengerMode picks their starting side (attacker or defender)

If it's the grand final, players each pick a map before they start the banning process to determine the third map (decider).

The server on which players have the closest ping values will be picked. For example, if ping values are 100 and 60 on Frankfurt 1, but 50 and 80 on Paris 1, Paris 1 is picked (unless there are better options).
