Valorant Champions Tour 2022 Expectations

9/24/2023

Many people are looking forward to the Valorant Champions Tour, which is understandable. With so many people looking forward to the tour, there are many expectations fans don’t know if they will get accomplished. However, it is essential to know and be prepared for what the tour is going to bring and when you can watch your favorite team compete.

 

You missed the challengers Championships of last year? You can get back on track with our article with a review of the power rankings of the competing teams!

 

The Valorant Champions Tour Format

 

There have been some changes made to the tour's format, but the overall premise is still the same. This means that every region is going to have a Challengers stage where the winning team will end up moving to the international LAN competition. The Master's event will be taking place before the final Champions tournament at the end of the year.

 

However, the most significant change is that the three stages of Challengers and Masters in December have been changed to two stages that will happen in September. That means that the last few months of the year have been set aside for the offseason events and series. It doesn’t stop there, though.

 

Every main event for the Challengers stages has also been changed. There are no more three separate double-elimination brackets; instead, there is only one qualifier that is going to happen before the seven-week main event. Within the seven weeks, there will be five weeks of round-robin play, which gives people the double-elimination bracket.

The Regions

 

Eight different regional leagues are all running beside the Challengers events: France, Spain, Turkey, MENA, CIS, DASH, Eastern Europe, and Northern Europe. When the winner is determined in each region, they are moved to a tournament with two spots on the Challengers Two line.

 

If you find yourself struggling with getting to a higher rank, hiring a professional player to help you out can be a little tricky. Finding the right marketplace with offers from all over the world is a key factor you should think about.

 

Supplementing VCT for 2022

 

The tour has also decided to bring in some supplements, and those are the Game Changers. This format is going to be the same as 2021, which means people will see three different series that have an open qualifier and one double-elimination bracket. However, this year's only difference is that Game Changers will be determined during the first international Game Changers Championship.

 

Will There Be Country-Specific Leagues?

 

This has been a question floating around for a few months, but there are few details on whether there will be country-specific leagues. However, if there were, it would be because they want to replicate the success that has been created with the League of Legends tournaments. If there are country-specific leagues, they will most likely be rolled out in European countries first before any other country around the world.

 

Conclusion

 

2021 was a big year for Valorant esports, but 2022 is going to be an even bigger year for the tour. This is because more people are prepared to watch and participate in the tour. Additionally, there are many games already set for the competition to begin, and it has everyone excited.

 

However, people will need to wait and see what happens during the games. With so many different teams competing, it is difficult to figure out who will make it to the Masters in September and who will not.

 

New players often find it easier to start their climb by purchasing a Valorant Smurf account so they can start their ranked climb without delay.
