VALORANT Regional Leagues (VRLs) are the first Riot-sanctioned intercontinental esports circuits for VALORANT. As an accessible competition broadcast locally, the VRLs regroup the best up and coming teams from Europe, Central Asia, Middle East & North Africa.
The VRLs are the peak of regional VALORANT esports, providing highly competitive platform talent development with a distinctly national flair.
The VRL Northern Europe: Polaris is the esports circuit for Ireland, United Kingdom, and Nordic countries; Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. See Rules tab for full residency requirements within these countries.
The first stage of the tournament starts with an Open Qualifier, spanning 2 days. The top 16 teams of the Open Qualifier will then earn a spot in the Closed Qualifier, a BO3 Double Elimination bracket where every match matters. Those that battle it out to the top 8 in the Closed Qualifier will qualify directly into the Group Stage, starting February 14th. There, teams will play for a share of €20,000 and a spot in the VCT Promotion Tournament.
Neon will not be playable during the Qualifiers!
