After a surprising display at both the VCT Kickoff stage and Masters Madrid, all eyes are on EMEA for the 2024 regular season stages.
Two young VALORANT teams with everything to prove in Karmine Corp and Heretics shocked the region with their performances at Kickoff, but neither managed to make a larger international impact as both fell short of reaching Masters Madrid playoffs. Now they’re back in Berlin for VCT EMEA play, and teams like Fnatic, NAVI, and Liquid are all looking to get back into form.
Here’s everything you need to know to follow and keep up with the first VCT EMEA stage of 2024.
VCT EMEA 2024 format
This year’s VCT EMEA season will split the 11 teams into two groups: Group Alpha and Group Omega. In the first stage, teams will play a round-robin against teams in the other group. In the second stage, teams will play a round-robin against the teams in their own group.
At the end of stage one, the top three teams from each group will advance to a six-team playoff, with the top three teams in playoffs qualifying for Masters Shanghai. The winner of the stage one playoffs also earns three VCT Championship points.
Here are the groups for VCT EMEA 2024.
Group Alpha | Group Omega |
---|---|
Karmine Corp | Team Heretics |
Fnatic | Natus Vincere |
Team Vitality | KOI |
Team Liquid | FUT Esports |
