Valorant TEC Showdown since the start held tourneys for both South Asia and South-East Asia. But, the Teams almost never ended up facing each other.
The Valorant Champions tour for the South Asian and SEA teams was cut short last month. Riot Games reassigned the last seat for LCQ to Japan, leaving South Asia to vie for a single seat from the entire region.
As the VCT 2021 continues, B-tier tournaments ensure teams can maintain upkeep. For the first time, the Valorant competitive scene will witness SouthAsia and SEA compete together.

The ESports Club announced teams and brackets for AMD TEC Showdown.
As of now the TEC Showdown, Season 3 Gauntlet, only houses South Asian teams. The top 8 teams receive $336 each and a direct invitation to Season Main Events.
The Gauntlet Season 4 Open Qualifiers just came to a close yesterday. Global Esports took the Victory 3-0 against Optimistic Esports.
Hence, the tournament is a category in itself of the TEC Showdown. Since the Valorant seasons are long and hard-fought, international tournaments help equalise the skill caps.
Also, Valorant analysts around the world will be looking at the event closely. The current list shows 10 teams invited- 4 teams from SEA and 6 from South Asia.
