All teams qualified for Valorant Champions 2023

Valorant Champions 2023 will bring the curtain down on Riot Games’ official tournament season. Here are all the teams that have qualified for the showpiece event.

After world championships in Germany and Turkey, Riot Games is finally taking its biggest Valorant competition to North America (more specifically Los Angeles), rewarding the region for the passion it has exhibited for the game since its release.

Valorant Champions 2023 will take place from August 6 through 26 across two iconic venues in LA, the Shrine Auditorium and the Kia Forum. Sixteen of the world’s best teams from EMEA, Asia-Pacific, the Americas and China will be in attendance, fighting for the trophy that went to Acend in 2021 and to LOUD in 2022.

Each of the three international leagues will be represented by a minimum of four teams at Valorant Champions, while China will bring a contingent of at least three teams to Los Angeles. The final spot will go to the winning region (or country, in China’s case) of VCT Masters Tokyo. The Japanese event is the next international tournament on the calendar and will feature 12 teams.

DRX and Paper Rex were the first two teams to qualify for Valorant Champions 2023 after reaching the VCT Pacific league’s upper bracket final. And on May 22, T1 also booked a spot in the international competition after beating Gen.G in the lower bracket of VCT Pacific.

The three EMEA spots will be determined by the results of VCT Masters Tokyo. The three best-placed EMEA teams at the Japanese event will automatically qualify for Valorant Champions, while the worst-placed team will have to go through EMEA’s last-chance qualifier.

Here are all the teams that have qualified for Valorant Champions 2023. The list will be updated as more teams secure spots at the event.
