Convergence will be Riot Games’ first international VALORANT esports event to take place in India, signifying Riot’s dedication to the growing gaming culture in the country. This tournament will bring together top-tier VALORANT teams from across the globe, including Global Esports, FUT, Furia, Vitality, and GenG, to compete on the same stage in India. These teams play in Riot Games’ VALORANT Champions Tour (VCT) in Asia, Europe and Americas regions. These top-tier teams will vie for supremacy on the Indian stage, with the main event kicking off on 14th December.
“Convergence is us at Riot saying thanks to our amazing fans in India, who have supported us since the launch of VALORANT in 2020. We have also since grown the India team to deliver such hyperlocal experiences to our players here. With Convergence, Indian fans will finally get to see some of their favorite VALORANT athletes perform in person and also interact with them off-stage. It will be a perfect ending to the 2023 VCT season and we are just getting started here in India for such international events.” said Sukamal Pegu, Esports Lead, India & South Asia, Riot Games.
Riot Games has actively engaged in fostering community engagement and player experience with multiple initiatives over the past year.

It also commemorated the third anniversary of VALORANT in India with BHARAT VALORANT celebrations.
