About VCT EMEA:
After a record-breaking closed beta that saw more than 1.7 million peak concurrent viewers on Twitch, VALORANT quickly established itself as the fastest-growing esport of 2020.
To support the competitive scene, Riot Games launched the VALORANT Champions Tour, a year-long, global circuit featuring competitions in North America, South America, Europe, Asia and Australia.
Valorant 2021 Champions Tour EMEA also known as VCT EMEA is organized by Riot Games in collaboration with Freaks4U hosted in the regions: EU, Turkey and CIS.
The tournament is structured in three stages with the VCT Stage 1 from February to March, Stage 2 from April to May and Stage 3 from July to September. Each of these stages kicks off with the open qualification in which hundreds of teams compete against each other to secure a spot in VCT challengers where the best teams then again battle to qualify for VCT Masters.
While VCT Masters 1 took place on a regional scale, Masters 2 brought the best teams from all over the world together to compete in Reykjavik, Iceland in May and Masters 3 will take place in Berlin, Germany in September.
