FaZe Clan is teaming up with Verizon and Nissan to host a VALORANT Ignition Series Invitational where 16 North American teams will compete for a $50,000 prize pool. The four-day tournament kicks off next week, starting Aug. 6.

The first two days of the competition will be set aside for the group stage in a best-of-three double elimination. Days three and four will mark the playoffs with more best-of-three matchups, with the exception of the grand finals. The top two teams will see who can muster the better record across five matches.
