Glitched and Riot Games have joined forces to launch the VALORANT Glitched Invitational tournament. Taking place at the inaugural edition of the Swedish esports and gaming festival in June, the event aims to expand esports in the Nordic region.
Eight teams will participate in the VALORANT Glitched Invitational, occurring at Glitched’s first event in Jönköping, Sweden, from June 13th to 16th, 2025.
The two finalists from SOL (Svenska Onlineligan) will complete the eight-team lineup. The teams will compete for a share of a 100,000 SEK prize pool.
In addition, the finals will be broadcast on the VALORANT Northern Europe Twitch channel, enabling fans from across the world to tune into the action.
Alongside the VALORANT Glitched Invitational, the deal between Riot Games and the esports festival also includes support for grassroots esports and on-site activations from the game’s developer.
The event will also include open VALORANT and League of Legends tournaments for attendees to compete in. Each event includes a 25,000 SEK prize pool.
Outside of esports tournaments, Riot Games will host a dedicated VALORANT booth hosting a range of activities ranging from photo opportunities to free-for-all matches.
Launched in 2024, Glitched is a new gaming and esports festival aiming to push the boundaries of in-person events. Founded by a group of former DreamHack business heads, the festival aims to focus on esports competitions and its LAN parties, where attendees can bring their own PCs, participate in tournaments, and play games with groups of like-minded fans.
