PAIDIA CUP

Welcome to  Paidia Cup Valorant Matchmaking Season sponsored by Xbox, a  9-week long season hosted by EsportsU that allows women Valorant teams to compete with other teams who are online and ready to play.  All teams who play in 5 or more matches at the end of the season will compete in a Double Elimination Final for their shot at securing a spot in a showmatch during the CECC Finals weekend from May 5-7

How it works:

From February 14th to April 11th compete against other teams in the matchmaking season.

Every time your team captain clicks 'Play Match’ you will be put into a queue until you are matched with another registered team in a Paidia lobby room.

From there exchange a lobby ID, play the match and then come back to Paidia to report your score!

Matches can be played anytime throughout the season but we are encouraging teams to be online every Tuesday from 6PM - 9PM EST to guarantee matches and to be apart of our weekly broadcast

The Format:

5v5

BO3

Player Checklist:

All teams who play in more than 5 matches will qualify for the season finals on April 11th. Your matchmaking season score will support your seeding in the double elimination bracket.

Reporting Score:

At the end of the BO3 format the team captains return to the Paidia Gaming lobby and click “report score” and enter either a Win or Lose result.
