AMD Skyesports Valorant Champions Series (SCS) Playoffs are set to start today. The excitement around the event has already reached new heights, and fans are eagerly waiting to see the best South Asian teams in action over the next few days.
The top six South Asian teams will be competing at the event to win the title. The top two teams in this event will qualify for the VCT APAC Stage 2 Challengers and will represent the South Asian region in that event.
After Skyesports Souvenir, this will be another Valorant LAN event with a live audience. However, Chennai will host the event this time, and with a bigger number of teams, this is surely going to be more exciting.
Teams have already reached the venue and are ready to start their campaign. Pakistan's Full Power Gaming will only play from remote conditions as the team failed to travel to India due to visa issues.
