How does the Valorant Champions Tour work?

The Valorant Champions Tour allows the best teams across the world to fight their way to the top not only domestically but internationally.

Teams can qualify for the global Masters events by performing well in domestic Challengers stages. Only the very best, however, will be invited to Champions in December ⁠— Valorant’s take on a World Championship.

VCT 2021 timeline

The format forces teams to excel all year round, with action kicking off in late January and running all the way through.
