Valorant Champions Tour 2022 schedule ;
♦ In Phase 1, 4 EMEA teams competing in Champions this year ; Fnatic, ACEND, Gambit and Team Liquid will be invited back to the VCT. There will also be room for 8 teams in two open and closed qualifiers that will start on January 10.
These 8 places will be divided into:
The open qualifiers will be played from January 10-12, and the closed qualifiers will be played from January 13-16. Teams in the MENA region will be able to take part in the qualifying events of their choice.
♦ In Phase 2, teams will qualify for VCT with a promotion tournament. In this tournament, the 8 teams that won the VRL in the Tier 1 will fight the two lowest VCT teams to try to secure the place for the remaining two teams. Those who fail to qualify in VCT Stage 2 will compete in the VRL.
After all, you can expect to see more competition between the top teams . So there will be more exciting and stressful matches.
Teams from the same region will compete against each other in Valorant Regional League (VRL) tournaments. In 2022, it was decided to start with 8 VRLs based on viewership, potential growth and the number of players to come.
This VRL season will conclude with the VRL EMEA final . The best teams in the VRL will compete against each other for the 1st place in the region. Initially, VRL will be held in the following regions:
You will see local stories, teams and players and have the opportunity to support your own country.
The initial plans for the new series of tournaments , called Valorant Regional Circuits , are designed as inclusive and accessible tournaments that allow players to engage in a regionally organized tournament, regardless of skills and goals.
These tournaments are expected to be the birthplaces of future professionals. You can see these global tournaments popping up in the EMEA region in the coming year. In the long run, they aim to organize regional tournaments where all Valorant players can compete .
In addition to brand new events, you will see that existing tournament and community activities are included in this ecosystem thanks to the tournament model. Players will be able to earn lap points by participating in individual tournaments throughout the season. The teams that collect the most points at the end of the season will compete to become the regional tournament champions . We look forward to the launch of regional tournaments and enabling a new generation of talent.
Valorant's competitive community is diverse and incredibly global. A significant number of competitive players are also women. However, the lack of support for women's professionalization is an obstacle to overcome; Game Changers comes to fight these obstacles. The tournament is made for women determined to stay here.
Game Changers was founded earlier this year to empower female gamers in the communityby giving them opportunities and recognition. Thanks to the tournament, we expect the Valorant esports ecosystem to become so inclusive that there will be no need for Game Changers in the future.
We can say that this year has made great progress as 58 talented teams took part in the most recent tournaments, and many organizations have signed and supported professional female players. And now they're ready to take Game Changers to the next level in 2022.
There will be three VCT Game Changers tournaments to be held in January, May and September . The teams that qualify here will take part in the global Game Changers event in November.
In addition, Game Changers EMEA Academy is also coming to life. Here, new teams and friends will compete in up to 6 tournaments throughout the year. Game Changers is a platform where women will progress on their way to becoming a professional. This is as important for esports organizations as it is for players. Organizations can find new generation talents in their staff.
You can be a budding pro competing in a Spanish regional tournament, a spectator holding the wildcard in the Turkish regional league, or a fan cheering for their favorite team in the EMEA VCT . In 2022, you will experience these experiences at their peak.
At a minimum, the VCT, Game Changers Masters and Champions tournaments will be broadcast in English, Arabic, French, German, Spanish, Polish, Russian and Turkish. Riot Games announced that it has also made improvements in broadcasts, thanks to the new format, we seem to be fully satisfied with the action.
