Barely after the curtain falls on the VALORANT Game Changers Championship (20–30 November, Seoul), the Offseason picks up with a sequence of partner events that will close out the year. On the slate are the remaining November fixtures: TEN in Asan, Red Bull Home Ground in New York, and the Ludwig x Tarik Invitational in the Americas, followed by a busy December featuring the SOOP VALORANT League at Pacific, Project BLENDER in EMEA, and the Americas with Spotlight Series. These tournaments appear within Riot’s official offseason window as listed by organizers.

A huge step for the VALORANT offseason

In November, the VALORANT Global Invitational 2025 (8–9 November, Asan) will bring together four invited teams: DRX, Nongshim RedForce, Wolves Esports, and Team Heretics. Taking place at Hoseo University, this compact international invitational event spans two days. Also in November, Red Bull Home Ground returns to New York from 13–16 November.

This event features a Play-In that will see two teams advance to the main stage, alongside those who earned a direct berth through the regional qualifiers earlier in the year. Both the format and dates have been confirmed on the official site and event pages. Lastly, the Ludwig x Tarik Invitational, a partner event, is scheduled for 22–24 November in the Americas. It has been presented as an invitational with no publicly announced open qualifier.

In December, the SOOP VALORANT League Pacific is scheduled for 2–7 December. It is advertised as a regional invitational rather than an open circuit, and no public registration path has been communicated to date. Also in December, Riot is set to run the Americas Spotlight Series (12–14 December): a short LAN event featuring mixed rosters of pros and Game Changers talent, with invited teams competing for a prize pool of 25,000 USD. The aim is to provide a post-season showcase for the region.

For the EMEA region, the main event is Project BLENDER Phase 4, which takes place from 8 to 14 December in Paris. Unlike the above invitationals, BLENDER began with an open qualifier, Phase 1, which was open to all. It then progressed through intermediate stages and will culminate in a single-elimination bracket. Registration for Phase 1 has now closed, and only those who have advanced through the earlier phases will compete in Phase 4.
