Following last weekend’s “secret” alpha playtest for Riot’s upcoming tactical shooter VALORANT, Twitch Rivals is reportedly hosting an event on April 3. The event has already been played and recorded and it features esports pros and streamers, according to journalist Rod “Slasher” Breslau.

Twitch Rivals will reportedly be streamed on Friday, April 3 when the embargo for the event drops and it’ll include a lineup of casters. The specific time frame for the event has yet to be revealed, but it’s expected to be catered for a North American audience. 

A few notable names who attended the event include CouRage, TimTheTatman, Pokimane, xQc, and shroud—despite streaming on the Mixer platform. The event will also likely have a prize pool, but the details are unclear at this early stage.

This reported Twitch Rivals event would mark the first time fans get the opportunity to watch VALORANT from top to bottom. There’s previously been teasers and short gameplay videos featuring agents, weapons, and more, but the event will encompass everything the game has to offer. The overtime system, the “Spike,” and the game’s ninth mystery agent will make an appearance.

The closed beta for VALORANT begins on Wednesday, April 7. It will be available for players in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Russia, and Turkey regions. Riot plans to expand to Asia in the months following. The full game is set to be released this summer.
