VCT Americas & EMEA LCQ: Schedule, bracket, teams and stream

The last-chance qualifiers for Valorant Champions 2023 are about to kick off in EMEA and the Americas. Follow both LCQ tournaments here.

With VCT Masters Tokyo wrapped up, fans are turning their attention toward Valorant Champions 2023. This year’s season-ending tournament will take place in Los Angeles, marking the first time that North America hosts an international Valorant event.

Nine of the 16 available spots have already been filled by the top teams from the VCT leagues in the Americas, EMEA and the Pacific. In each of these regions, there will be a last-chance qualifier, where the remaining teams will duke it out for a spot at Valorant Champions.

As the winning region of Masters Tokyo, EMEA will have an extra spot at Valorant Champions. This means that the EMEA qualifier will have two spots on the line.
