According to the announcement from the Esports World Cup, the tournament will officially take place from July 3 to August. The subjects will be divided during 8 weeks. League of Legends is one of the first subjects to play and will end in the first week. Besides, there are subjects that will play for three weeks like Dota 2 or Mobile Legends.
Besides, Riot Games also has one subject that also plays at the Esports World Cup is Teamfight Tactics. In addition, Valorant will not be present at this event, despite being one of the most developed eSports subjects today. The international tournaments of Valorant have large views, about 400-500,000 people at the same time.
The reason Valorant does not appear at this event is the conflict of the tournament schedule. It is expected that July will be the time when Stage 2 tournaments enter the play-off round, while the Valorant Champions 2024 tournament will take place from August 1-25. As such, Riot Games cannot arrange and change the schedule for tournaments when this subject has many tournaments in the end of the year such as Challengers or professional tournaments for women's teams.
However, Riot Games also confirmed to change the schedule of the Valorant awards next year, opening up the opportunity for Valorant to attend this event in 2025. Currently, Esports World Cup is the largest electronic sports event globally with a total bonus value of up to $ 60 million, surpassing $ 45 million in GameS8 in 2023.
