Red Bull Home Ground is set to return for its third iteration as part of the Valorant Champions Tour OFF//SEASON 2022. Eight of the finest teams from around the world will go head-to-head for the trophy from December 9, 2022, to December 11, 2022, at Victoria Warehouse in Manchester, England.
While previous editions of the tournament have fielded only European rosters, the Red Bull Home Ground #3 has opened its doors to teams outside EMEA for the first time ever. Six invited teams will join the two best sides from the EMEA and Turkish qualifiers as they fight for their share of a $100,000 prize pool.

Format
Similar to the previous edition of the tournament, the eight participating teams will compete in a unique "Home and Away" format to decide the winners of each matchup.
In this format, each team will pick a "Home map" as their first map pick. If a team wins both their "Home" and "Away" maps, they will win the series with a score of 2-0, and no further maps will be played. If the match is tied with a score of 1-1, both teams will compete further until one of them secures three maps.
