01
What is it?
Red Bull Campus Clutch is a global VALORANT tournament exclusively for university students – absolutely the largest event of its kind! After an amazing debut in 2021, where Egypt's Anubis Gaming were the winners, this year marks the second edition. More than 50,000 students from 300 universities are anticipated to participate in nearly 400 events across roughly 50 countries. The best of the best advance to the World Final, with a chance to claim serious bragging rights, not to mention a cash prize purse.

Who can take part?
There are four main eligibility requirements:
• The tournament is open only to residents of participating countries as listed in the FAQ & Rules.
• Participants must be age of majority in their province/territory or older.
• They must be currently enrolled at a university.
• And they can enter only as part of a group registration for a team of five people. (In other words, one team member signs up on behalf of the whole five-person crew.)
03
Any other rules?
Two key things to remember are:
• Each participant can be part of only one team.
• Throughout all stages of the tournament, the team configuration has to stay the same as in the initial registration – with the exception that each team will be allowed to replace one team member during the entire tournament. The replaced player can rejoin the same team at a later stage.
Check out more information in the FAQ and Rules.
