These are the four best teams from each corner of the Valorant world. The full list of participants in Valorant Champions 2024:
Only half of these teams will survive the group stage and continue competing for the world champion title.
Valorant Champions 2024 Group Stage Format
The group stage of Valorant Champions 2024 will start on August 1, and the final matches will be played on August 11. Sixteen teams will participate in the group stage, divided equally into four groups: A, B, C, D. The seeding was partially not random, as the participants of each group were selected based on the results of Stage 2, ensuring no group had two league champions, thus balancing each group.
Of the sixteen teams, only eight will pass this test and advance to the playoffs, with two from each group. The other two teams, who finish 3rd-4th in their group, will leave the championship and lose their chance to compete for the title. Each group will be played in a Double Elimination system, and the matches will be played in a best-of-three format. Only the strongest teams will advance from the group.
First Matches of Valorant Champions 2024
Each day will feature fewer matches than fans might like. During the group stage, there will only be two best-of-three series per day, continuing until the final days of the tournament. In the last two days, we will see only one match per day, determining the top three teams. The first matches will take place on August 1, featuring Group B:
