Valorant Champions 2024 group draw

In each group, only two teams will qualify for the playoffs, as the other two will end their season there.

Perhaps the most notable group is Group B, with Gen.G, Sentinels, and Team Heretics headlining the draw. All three teams were finalists at Masters Madrid and Shanghai, and only two of them will qualify for the Champs Playoffs.

Valorant Champions 2024 qualification explained

Unlike previous years, 2024 will have a set limit on who will attend from each region. Three teams from each region will qualify based on their playoff performance, while the last spot will be granted to whichever team has the most Champions points collected.

Prior to 2024’s format change, teams that won international Masters events would automatically qualify for Champions at the end of the year. This year, both Sentinels and Gen.G will have to win their way, or earn enough points, to make the world championship

Valorant Champions will begin on August 1 after each region has concluded their seasons and finish on August 25. The tournament will feature four groups, each consisting of four teams, competing in a double-elimination format.

All matches at Valorant Champions will be best-of-three, outside of the finals matches, and the top two teams from each group will advance to the playoffs.
