What game is being played:
The game that is being played at this tournament is called: VALORANT. This game is rated: T for TEEN, and is suitable for ages 13+. Valorant is a 5-v-5 shooting game that is available on PC. There are two teams of five members each, who take the role of agents with unique abilities. The game revolves around a war zone, where the agents need to plant and protect the bomb until it detonates. If they are successful, they receive some points. Meanwhile, the opponent team tries to find and defuse the bomb, and if they are successful, they get the winning end. It takes a good 25 rounds to determine the final winner.
The competitive nature of the game makes it popular among teenagers. Besides, players also enjoy the liberty to use different game characters while playing.
