Valorant at Esports World Cup
The Valorant EWC kicks off next week on Tuesday, July 8th, where some of the best teams will compete for a part of the total prize pool of $70m (~£54.8m).
UK-based esports organisation, Fnatic, will look to obtain glory after coming second at the recent VCT Masters Toronto Grand Finals.
However, they’ll have to face the ‘group of death’ at this year’s tournament.
Fnatic has a strong presence at the EWC, finalising lineups across eight esports titles this year.
Meanwhile, Team Heretics with British star Benjy ‘benjyfishy’ Fish will look to redeem themselves after a terrible showing at VCT Masters Toronto.
Recently, the EWC has caused controversy in the ALGS and other esports events, causing players to drop out.
The event has come under scrutiny with accusations of sport-washing of the country’s human rights record.
