Host selection edit
On February 17, 2024, Riot Games announced that Seoul's South Korea will play host to the Valorant Champions, the crowning event of the VCT 2024 season.[3][4]
Background edit
This will be the first time since the 2022 season that Riot will bring back the Championship circuit, in which all participating teams in the VCT International Leagues get to compete for championship points throughout the season. During the league stage games, teams will earn 1 championship point for every match win they earn. If the teams emerge as champions during International events during the season's regional Kickoff events, Madrid Masters, Shanghai Masters, Stages 1 and 2 Playoffs, that respective team will gain 3 championship points. The teams with the most points after the Shanghai Masters and the top three of the International Leagues Stage 2 Playoffs qualify for the final tournament.[5]
