Valorant Champions Tour Stage 1 is complete! Here’s the final placements for VCT Challengers & Masters events in each region.
Valorant Champions Tour: Format
Valorant Champions Tour will pit teams from across the globe against each other. We’ll finally be able to see Vision Strikers take on 100 Thieves, or G2 Esports go toe-to-toe with Absolute JUPITER? But first, teams have to battle through their respective regional events (Challengers) to qualify for Masters events.
The objective? To qualify for the end-of-year Valorant Champions event, which will crown one global champion for the first time in the esport’s history. Our detailed Champion Tour explainer covers exactly how the circuit works, but as an overview:
- Teams will battle through three separate stages throughout the year.
- Each stage is comprised of three Challenger events, which feed into one Masters event.
- Masters events are where teams earn points to qualify for the Champions event.
- 16 of the world’s best will go head-to-head in Valorant Champions to determine Future Earth’s first global champ!
