With the current resurgence of COVID-19 in Sri Lanka, the government and health authorities have urged the general population to strictly follow all health and safety regulations in place. One such way is by social distancing and staying at home to protect yourself and others from the spread. However, we know how boring and uneventful being stuck at home might be. So here’s a look at all the Esports action in the months to come which you can either watch or take part in.
Logitech G Play to Win Season 3 Valorant
To kick start the month of May, Logitech G is back with their quarterly Play to Win series. Season 3 will kick off with Valorant, which is set to begin on 5th May, with registrations closing this Friday (30th April). A new twist this season is the introduction of 2 separate divisions with different prize pools for each- Divisions A & B. Division A will consist of a competition between the top 4 Valorant teams in Sri Lanka and the winner of division B, where teams will stand a chance to win part of the Rs. 100,000 prize pool and title of champion. Division B will be open to the public for registrations and consist of a Rs. 30,000 prize pool and the chance to compete in division A by winning in division B.
