Velocity, Revenant, and Reckoning Qualify for South Asia VALORANT Split 2 LAN
The OMEN VALORANT Challengers South Asia (VCSA) 2025 Split 2 group stage has come to a thrilling conclusion, with Velocity Gaming, Revenant XSpark, and Reckoning Esports emerging as the top contenders. The trio has earned their place in the high-stakes LAN Finals, scheduled to be held on May 31 and June 1 at Phoenix Market City in Mumbai.
Organized by NODWIN Gaming in partnership with Riot Games, and headlined by OMEN by HP, the VCSA continues to serve as South Asia's gateway to the VCT Ascension Pacific 2025. This leg of the competition brought together eight of the region’s finest VALORANT teams battling not only for a share of the ₹29 lakh prize pool but also for valuable Challenger Points that pave the way to international opportunities.
Standout Performances and Community Milestones
Among the many standout players, Muhammad Axel Syahbanna Dadan — known in-game as k1ngkappa from S8UL — rose above the rest with a dominating performance. Recording 189 kills, he secured the Most Valuable Player (MVP) title for the group stage, underscoring his pivotal role despite S8UL not advancing to the final stage.
Off the battlefield, the tournament saw a surge in community involvement, with more than 40 creators hosting watch parties throughout Split 2. This groundswell of support points to the growing enthusiasm for competitive VALORANT in South Asia, a trend that organizers aim to capitalize on with more fan-centric activities during the LAN Finals — including live giveaways and interactive segments.
Organizers Speak on the Split 2 Journey
Akshat Rathee, Co-Founder and Managing Director of NODWIN Gaming, expressed excitement about the level of competition and what lies ahead:
"Now that our finalists are confirmed, we're all set to deliver an electrifying LAN experience in Mumbai. The skill level this season has been nothing short of world-class, and with the Ascension spot in play, the upcoming matches are going to be intense."
Echoing this sentiment, Riot Games’ South Asia Esports Lead, Sukamal Pegu, praised the competitive spirit of the qualified squads:
"This stage has only raised the bar for South Asian VALORANT. The teams that made it to the LAN did so through relentless effort and composure. We’re eager to see who will rise as champions of Split 2."
