Red Bull Home Ground #3 announced

Red Bull has announced Red Bull Home Ground #3, the third VALORANT championship. The next championship from the famous energy drink manufacturer will take place from 9 to 11 December in Manchester at the Victoria Warehouse.

Eight teams from all over the world compete in a unique card-centric competition. For the first time, teams from North America will be eligible to participate and compete against the best teams in the EMEA region. This will be one of the very few chances to see teams from North America try to take down the European champions.

Red Bull Home Ground is the pioneer of a unique format where map knowledge and tactical awareness are the main keys to victory. In BO5 matches, teams choose a "home court" to play in the first two matches. Creating unrivaled tension, if a team wins both home and away opening matches, it automatically wins. Otherwise, the series will continue according to the usual rules.

Note that the fnatic team excluded their participation at Red Bull Home Ground #3. The British club's manager wrote: "Unfortunately we will not be able to take part in this event as we have already confirmed a trip to the tournament (not yet announced) which coincides with dates and will contain international teams."

Eight teams will take part in Red Bull Home Ground #3, six of which will be invited directly by the organizers. In addition, qualifications for Europe and Turkey will take place.

Recall that last year there were two championship series Red Bull Home Ground. The winner of the first tournament was G2 Esports, the second — Team Liquid.
