Following Gambit’s dominant win over Team Envy in the final of the Valorant Champions Tour Stage 3 Masters in Berlin, three quarters of the field for the end-of-year VCT Champions has now been determined.
Champions will be the biggest Valorant esports event to date, crowning the first VCT season’s official world champion. 16 teams from across the globe will be in Berlin to fight for that crown, and we now know 12 of the teams that have qualified.
Even prior to the Stage 3 Masters, North America’s Sentinels had already secured its spot at Champions. After a run to the final in Berlin last weekend, Team Envy bagged the second NA spot at Champions thanks to its VCT Circuit Points tally. The team that conquered Envy 3-0 in the Masters final, Gambit, also secured its spot at Champions, while Acend and Fnatic from the EMEA region also qualify via their VCT Circuit Points – the latter squeaking in by just 25 points thanks to Gambit’s victory.
The likes of South Korea’s Vision Strikers and LATAM’s KRÜ Esports have also secured spots at Champions through their respective regions’ Circuit Points.
