Promod Esports just announced the formation of a new Northern European VALORANT community called ICEBOX as well as a new VALORANT tournament open to teams in the UK, Ireland, and Nordic Regions. The Northern Classic Tournament, as it's being called, will see teams competing for a prize pool of $27,300.

"We're thrilled to have been chosen by Riot Games to run the Northern Classic & Northern Frenzy competitions and we can't wait to watch some of the best teams in Europe compete for their share of £20,000," said Rob Black, the Founder of Promod Esports. "Promod Esports has always been about providing opportunity to the esports community, and we're very excited about how ICEBOX & the upcoming tournaments will provide a platform for teams, players, & talent to shine in the Northern European region."

Promod Esports is no stranger to operating VALORANT tournaments. In June 2021, the agency hosted the VALORANT UK&I Skirmish tournament. Like the Skirmish competition, the Northern Classic tournament will be supported by VALORANT publisher and developer Riot Games.

Intel, Logitech G, and AOC Gaming have been named as suppliers for the Northern Classic, with the finals taking place from November 19th-21st. Qualifiers for the tournament will be held on October 19th and 20th.
