Due to emergent COVID-19 developments in our key tournament markets, the group stage of the VCT Stage 3 - Challengers SEA - Playoffs will be pushed back by one day and will now take place between 13 - 16 August. This change does not affect the Playoffs finals dates which remain from 19 - 22 August, and the overall tournament format and our roster of casters will remain the same.
The health and safety of our teams and crew are our top priority. Given these recent developments with the pandemic, we are opting to hold a more streamlined event that will ensure the safety of all participants while delivering an exciting viewing experience to fans across the region.
