Yesterday, Gen.G emerged victorious over Team Heretics with a score of 3:2 at the VALORANT Masters Shanghai tournament. This sparked discussions online about the unfairness of the championship points allocation.
Community discussions revolved around the new points system determining participation in the VALORANT Champions 2024. Instead of the previous "Last Chance," a system is now in place that rewards teams for their success in regional stages, international tournaments, and regional initial matches.
Some prominent figures, such as the VALORANT Champions 2021 winner known as zeek, voiced concerns about the injustice of the new system. He emphasized that despite a team's achievements, they could be left out of the tournament if they fail to perform well in competition stages.

Heretics, who were one map away from claiming the Masters title, are given 0 championship points. Thus, they still sit at 3-4th place in the VCT leaderboard in the EMAE region. If TH somehow completely bombs the second split, one of the region's top teams might even miss out on champions.@zeek
Despite this, organizers of the 2025 season promise a more extensive calendar but have yet to comment on the points system issue.
