Hello Reddit!

For those of you that have not heard of OVC yet, I'll explain all the details of here, and get you just a pumped as I am!

If you prefer not to read a wall of text, you can check out the "what is OVC page" @: openvalorantcircuit.com or a TLDR at the bottom.

So... What is OVC?

OVC is an ENTIRELY open... season based... esport league for you dedicated Valorant players. Create a team, find players & teams, organize scrimmages, and best of all automatically be assigned matches against real teams.

The goal is to bring the competitive esport that we all love into the hands of everyone. No longer will competing in official league matches be reserved for the highest tear of players. For those of you that are interested in getting into the Valorant esport scene but not sure where to start, OVC is the perfect starting point for you.

If you want to jump right in, here is a link the official web app: playovc.app

Is there a minimum rank in order to compete?

Nope, there is a position for everyone. Simply gather your crew by inviting your existing friends or by using the player / team finder.

How long is this going to run for?

As long as the the Valorant esport exists, OVC will exist! This is your league, and it's here to stay.

How do you separate the skill levels of teams?

Skill organization is handled by including 'brackets'. Think of brackets like a rank, but for the team as a whole.

At the end of every season teams will either: be moved to the winners standings, moved to losers standings, or not moved at all (which means you will compete in the same bracket next season). The winners standing plays the teams that are in the losers standing in the division above them and vice versa for the losers standing. So you can think of it like you are competing against the opposing team for their spot in their division.

We are totally open to changing how this works in the future based on community feedback, so none of this is set in stone :)

Season Structure

Here is an infographic of the yearly structure of the seasons. Excluding the upcoming //season ZERO due to it being a beta season. Essentially it's 1 season per quarter of the year:

What are your future plans?

We have big plans for the future for OVC and the features that we bring to you but don't want to give away too much right now. Expect to be hearing and seeing a lot from us on all our socials. Our philosophy is to be as open and transparent as possible, you guys ultimately decide what happens and goes on in the OVC world. This is just the beginning of a long journey, and we cant wait to experience it with you all.

So... When?

Everyone can sign up and draft for //season ZERO (beta season) today! Due to us being in the early stages of development we are limiting the amount of teams that can compete in the beta season to 100 teams max. The official season launch will have the cap doubled (200 max teams) with a priority to the early //Season ZERO players. So sign up early for a head start. For those of you that make it into the novice division, you will compete in that division for the official launch.

A word from the team...

The esport community is a fantastic one. We all have a common interest in competitive Valorant, it provides a feeling like no other. The adrenaline that you get in a 1v[X] scenario... its unmatched, and the dopamine that everyone gets when you win is an experience like no other. Our goal is to provide a competitive home for you all.

I used to be a highly competitive player many years ago in CS:GO; rushing home everyday to get online with my team, set up practice scrims... refining our strategy... and getting the adrenaline of competing provided the most memorable experiences of my teen years. Some time passed then Valorant released and I fell in love. It reignited the flame that I have for esports. So creating OVC only felt natural.

We aren't going anywhere and have much planned for the road ahead.
