Mongolian teams are set to make their first official debut in the SEA circuit this week.
SOUTHEAST ASIA – Riot Games has announced the matchups for Stage 1 of VALORANT Challengers SEA Split 3, scheduled to run from October 25-27.
This new Split 3 marks a transition from the previous VALORANT Challengers format to a unified system that brings together the six Southeast Asia Challengers Leagues. The new format will implement a consolidated qualification process through the in-game Premier system. The champions of VALORANT Challengers SEA Split 3 will secure their spot in the 2025 VALORANT Challengers Split 1, along with a lion’s share of the $75,000 prize pool.
Stage 1 will feature six teams that qualified through the Premier brackets from Episode 8 Act 3 and Episode 9 Act 1 and 2. These teams are split into two groups competing in a single round-robin format, with the top team from each group moving on to Stage 2.
