We followed the ASU Maroon Valorant team out of the state as they competed in San Diego, California at the Red Bull Campus Clutch Southwest Qualifier.
This esports tournament was exclusively for university students. Here, they faced off against other teams in the popular futuristic, first-person-shooter game Valorant.
Winners of the Southwest Qualifier will have the opportunity to travel to Istanbul, Turkey, where they will play in the tournament’s World Final and compete for a cash prize of over $20,000.
