Riot Games have revealed the venue for the 2024 Valorant Champions Tour. For the first time in the tournament’s history, it’s headed to Seoul in South Korea.
The new Valorant esports season is underway, and along with it comes an answer to the question every fan has been asking. Where will 2024’s VCT be held?
The first VCT took place in 2021, in Berlin, Germany. 2022 saw players headed to Turkey and Istanbul. On the other hand, last year Los Angeles was the home of Valorant’s premier event.
But this year, South Korea will receive the honor, with the 2024 VCT’s running from August 1 through 24, in the city of Seoul.
