Ludwig x Tarik Valorant Invitational 2: Stream, teams and more
LudwigThe Ludwig x Tarik Valorant Invitational 2 is upon us in 2024, and this time the event sees a slew of NA teams duking it out for the $50,000 prize pool. So here is all you need to know.
The Ludwig x Tarik Invitational is back for 2024 as part of Riot Games’ official offseason tournament schedule, hosted by streaming mega star Ludwig and Valorant’s very own tarik, and this time we’re treated to an all-North American affair to kick off the 2024 VCT season.
In 2023’s iteration, The Guard convincingly won the tournament, which heralded great things for the squad as they went on to win the Americas Ascension and eventually get picked up by G2.
Now coming into 2024’s iteration, just like last year’s four teams are competing for the $50,000 prize pool, with some familiar NA teams in the mix.
