ROG Masters North America 2026: Open Tournament for VALORANT and Street Fighter 6

ASUS just dropped a new tournament for North American players. ROG Masters North America 2026 is officially open.

The games: VALORANT and Street Fighter 6. The prize pool: $10,000. The catch: You have to be in Canada or the U.S. to compete.

This is an open tournament. That means anyone can enter. You don't need to be signed to an org. You don't need clout. You just need to be good.

Finals will be held live. That's a big deal for grassroots players. Getting stage experience is hard. This gives people a real shot.

ASUS has been running ROG Masters events for a while now. They know how to put on a show. Production quality is usually solid.

For fighting game players especially, this is a nice opportunity. Street Fighter 6 has a thriving scene, and more tournaments means more ways to get noticed.

VALORANT players have plenty of paths to go pro. But open events like this still matter. You never know who's watching.
