Skyesports Valorant Champions Series (SCS): Schedule, format, registration, where to watch, and more

Skyesports Valorant Champions Series (SCS) starts later this month. All South Asian Valorant teams will compete for their slots in the upcoming Valorant Champions Tour (VCT) APAC Stage 2 Challengers.

A few weeks back, Riot announced the VCT Stage 2 South Asia (SA) Challengers in association with Skyesports, the sole qualifying event for teams in the region for the APAC Stage 2 Challengers. Finally, the organizers announced that the Skyesports Champions Series (Stage 2 South Asia Challengers will be known by this name) will be hosted this month.

This event will replace NODWIN Gaming's Valorant Conquerors Championship (VCC) 2022 which gained immense popularity among Valorant fans in the region. The top two teams from SCS will represent the region in the upcoming APAC Stage 2 Challengers and will compete for the slots in the next Masters against the top sides of SEA.
