After months of intense competition, the top 12 VALORANT teams in Europe, Turkey, and the CIS have been decided.
The EMEA VCT Stage Three: Challengers playoffs will determine which four teams make it to Masters Berlin in September. Over $100,000 in prize money and, most importantly, circuit points also will be on the line.
