As mentioned earlier, this event will kickstart from 5 October and run over multiple stages to conclude on 24th October. Two open qualifiers will be held and will be followed by grand finale where top two teams from each bracket will fight with four invited teams to grab the throne.

The platform will allow users to discover and register for tournaments. It will also allow teams to create recruitment posts and players to find teams. This will enable a lot more players to participate in tournaments for team-based game titles.

Penta Esports CMO Akshay Paul talked about Penta Challenge and said, “We’ve always had the vision to bring opportunities to the player and amazing viewing experience to the spectators and our newest IP, Penta Challenge, is a step in that direction. While we’ll start with Valorant, going forward, we will have the Penta Challenge for multiple game titles.”

Trinity Gaming founder and CEO Abhishek Agarwal said, “We’re always on the lookout for good partners to be able to bring tournaments like these for the Indian esports community. Our vision is absolutely in line with the team at Penta Esports and we’re sure this is going to be an amazing event!”

Head of Esports at Penta Esports, Kiran Noojibail said, “We’ve been working on this platform for a while and it feels rewarding to launch it for everyone. We wanted to create a platform for Indian esports players and enthusiasts, which encompasses all major aspects of esports. Penta Challenge – Valorant will be the first tournament for our platform and we look forward to building a strong community through the platform!”

Valorant Night Market returns

0

Valorant had brought to the community the first-ever Night Market in their v1.14 patch with an aim to provide the players with weapons at a discounted rate. 

Let’s face the truth, the skin bundles do sometimes cost you a bomb, and here is where the Night Market comes into action. The latter allows you to get either Prime, Deluxe, or other grade weapons at a slightly lower price than their original. Do note: An entire bundle will never be put up on a hefty discount but only a single skin from that specific bundle would be. You’re blessed with a total of six weapon skin cards that can be revealed once flipped. 

Earlier, the Night Market saw the developers tune it with Bad luck protection which would guarantee you some exciting offers. Also, once you flip your cards, you won’t get more than two skins of the same weapon.

The only way you can refresh your weapon skin cards is if you purchase the currently available choices. You have 12 more days left to redeem all of the six offers and as mentioned above, after every purchase, there’s always a new offer exclusively waiting for you. While the Night Market is basically a shot in the dark, Riot has promised to optimize it in a way it remains fairly random while catering to everyone’s needs. Skins in VALORANT have been commended for their inventive fine art and players of all titles regard the exertion and detail put into VALORANT skins and for this exact reason, any update related to skins will be something on the better side.

A post shared by Free Fire India Official (@indiaofficialfreefire)

Free Fire Max is the upgraded version of Free Fire where players can expect enhanced graphics and better mechanics than its predecessor. This game was under development for a long time and launched in closed beta in few regions and recently, there were speculations that it might be released in India.

They were soon addressed by the officials as they released the pre-registration forms in India. The response to this process was incredible and later, Free Fire Max was announced to release on 28th September in India.

Garena released this game earlier today and updated their player base that it will be under maintenance break for some time. The break has not ended yet as the developers faced ‘overwhelming traffic’ and as a result, they are upgrading their service to ensure stability.

The developers also stated that the servers will open tomorrow i.e. on 29th September at 12PM IST. Players have apparently flooded their servers by downloading the game in large quantity.

Free Fire already enjoys a tremendous popularity in India and owing to this fact, it is quite clear that Free Fire Max will also have a large player base. The developers will finally release this game tomorrow so players can wait till then to enjoy their favourite game.
