Esports are so hot right now, with competitions being hosted all over the world. Locally, we’ve got a taste of that action with numerous tournaments offering big money for even bigger competition.

This year, in conjunction with Asus’ Republic of Gamers, the Valkyrie Challenge is back with a vengeance. A vengeance with a cool price tag of R50 000 per season for two seasons of CS: GO action as female teams compete for the top spot.

Mettlestate says that sign-ups will begin in early March, with the Valkyrie Challenge itself kicking off at the end of the month. Here’s a breakdown of the tournament pot for anyone with an eye on the prize:

  • 1st place -R25 000
