VtrendGaming June 2021 Week 1 Events

Prepare yourselves for a variety of tournaments including the debut of cash prizes, Teamfight Tactics and 5v5 League of Legends! Coming to VtrendGaming in June 2021.

Thanks to the subscriptions and cheers from the last few months, it’s time to give back to the community even more!

Changes to formats and prizing via Battlefy:

VtrendGaming will continue to host weekly tournaments on Battlefy however please note the format and prizing will be adjusted to the following:

1) 1v1 tournament format will be changed from group brackets + final stage to single elimination. All participants will be playing in the same bracket. As a result of this, there will be no player cap.

2) Prizing will be determined depending on the number of players participating in the event. The more players that participate, the more tickets to be paid out.

Disclaimer: Players that are no-shows or are disqualified will not be factored in.

Sunday June 7th Teamfight Tactics Tournament (most likely Challengermode, TBA)

Is there an age requirement to play in cash tournaments?

Nope, you just need to have a PayPal account to receive the funds!

What is the Challengermode transaction fee?

More to provided on this. To my current understanding, your cash prizes will go to your Challengermode “wallet”. They have told me that $2 USD is the processing fee for when it is time to withdraw to PayPal.

Is there going to be any entry fees for cash tournaments?

Nope! Tournaments will be free-to-enter!

Will I still be able to earn and use VtrendGaming tickets?

Yes to both! The ticket system is NOT going away and you will still be able to claim prizes and gift cards with them. Cash tournaments will provide a small sum of tickets in addition to cash prizing. And of course, so will giveaways.

Does this mean we are allowed to exchange VtrendGaming tickets for cash now?

No. VtrendGaming tickets do NOT have any cash value therefore cannot be traded or sold for such.

Expectations for the remainder of June 2021 (again, tentative and subject to change):

Week 2 June 7th to 13th – Thursday will feature a cash prized 1v1 VALORANT tournament. Sunday will feature a cash prized Teamfight Tactics (TFT) tournament.

Week 3 June 14th to June 20th – No tournaments this week. Birthday week for me, so I would like to take time off.

Week 4 June 21st to 27th – Cash prized Challengermode tournaments for Tuesday (1v1 League), Thursday (1v1 VALORANT), Friday (2v2 League), Depending on interest the weekend may feature Saturday (5v5 ABAM) and Sunday (TFT).

VtrendGaming Summer 2021 Plans

Its summertime, which means school’s out hence more gamers are about and eager to play! Summer 2020 was great in terms of tournaments, participation, and the whole experience hence why I am planning to make this summer hopefully just as fun!

Delay of the VtrendGaming 2v2 Invitational and similar events

With the unexpected (but great) turn of events with securing the Challengermode partnership and getting invited to fundraise with HealthyGamer, unfortunately I will have to delay and postpone the Invitational that was announced a few weeks back. I am very sorry for the inconvenience as I wish to re-evaluate the format before rescheduling this event to provide a better experience for the players.

Debut of 5v5 Tournaments

Long have we awaited, 5v5 tournaments will be activated. Although I am experienced in tournament operations, 5v5s is something I have minimal experience in and wish to tread on it carefully.

Here is what is in the works and what could be expected during the summer (tentative and subject to change):

  • Debut process (similar to the steps done for VALORANT and the return of League 1v1s)
    1. Limit the number of teams to 4 and gradually increase the number of allowed teams.
    2. Continue to limit bracket sizes to 4 (group brackets and final stage system).
    3. Gradually transition to the classic single elimination system where all teams are seeded into one bracket.
  • Creating two divisions based on player solo queue rank.
    • Lower Division – Only players that meet the solo queue rank and summoner level requirements will be able to participate in these events. These requirements are in place to help reduce the likelihood of smurfing, cheating, and/or multiple accounts.
    • Open Division – Open to teams and players of ALL ranks and levels. From unranked to Challenger, anyone and everyone is permitted to play in these!
    • Lower Division tournaments may feature slightly smaller prizes compared to Open Division tournaments.

  • Two types of League of Legends 5v5 Tournaments
    • 5v5 Summoner’s Rift – Everyone should know this one. For those inspiring pros to one day compete in high-stakes tournaments to train in a competitive yet fun environment.
    • 5v5 ABAM (All Blind All Mid) on Howling Abyss – For those ARAM enthusiasts, this one is for you! The only difference is – everyone gets to pick their champions! There are no bans, no restrictions. Construct your OP ARAM team and see how it performs against others.  

What about Valorant 5v5s?

I would like to evaluate and research further into the VALORANT scene before debuting 5v5s for the game title.

More tournaments hosted on Challengermode with the possibility of cash prizing

As some may have heard, I have partnered up with the Challengermode tournament platform to help expand their presence in the North America region after their huge success in Europe. Yes, this means EU tournaments are possibly coming to VtrendGaming.

In addition to League of Legends and VALORANT, Challengermode has support for other titles such as Wild Rift and TFT. Expect the possibility of VtrendGaming TFT and Wild Rift tournaments soon!

On May 15th, VtrendGaming has met the first application requirement for receiving cash sponsorship from Challengermode of hosting a successful tournament on their platform (thanks League of Legends 1v1ers!). As a result, I have started the application process. In the meantime, I will be hosting more tournaments on Challengermode to help players interested in cash prizes get up to speed on how to use the platform. Stay tuned for updates!

Please continue to submit feedback either via the google doc survey or on Discord in the #suggestions channel. I am looking forward to seeing some (hopefully all) of you continue to play during the summer!

Tournament Recap: VtrendGaming Prized VALORANT 1v1 Spike Rush #2

Last night we hosted our second VALORANT 1v1 Spike Rush Tournament under the new “Quick” format where each single elimination group bracket contained 4 players for some fast (hence the format name) and competitive matches. From each group bracket, the winners were offered either two (2) VtrendGaming tickets or a Hextech Chest and Key Bundle (League of Legends) as prizing.

Since the tournament had 16 participants (4 group brackets), each group bracket winner had the chance to play in the “Final Stage” which was a final single elimination bracket. The only difference was that the winner of the final stage would have their prize upgraded to their choice of either five (5) VtrendGaming tickets or a mystery skin gift (League of Legends). Of course, those whom did not make it to first place in this bracket would still walk away with their prizes from winning their group brackets.
