In terms of viewership and competitiveness, VCT Americas continues to dominate the global VALORANT ecosystem. The 2024 regular season is about to kick off, making it one of the most watched and talked about leagues in all of esports.
Currently, the competitive VALORANT scene is dominated by Sentinels, who are leading in attracting audiences, winning trophies, and selling bundles. However, VCT Americas is not just about one team, with talented squads like NRG, LOUD, Evil Geniuses, and others waiting to dethrone Sentinels.
Here’s everything you need to know to follow and keep up with the first VCT Americas stage of 2024.
VCT Americas 2024 format
In 2024, the VCT Americas season will be divided into two round-robin group stages. In stage one, teams from Group Alpha will play the teams in Group Omega, and vice versa. In stage two, teams will compete against the other rosters in their own group.
After the first round-robin stage, the top three teams from each group will move on to the stage one playoffs, with the top three squads from the playoffs qualifying for Masters Shanghai. The winner of the stage one playoffs also earns three crucial VCT Championship points.
