Riot Games has shared its vision for the future of EMEA Challengers 2024, a few days after announcing the Premier promotional campaign for Challengers. In an interview on VLR.gg, they discussed this and much more.
This week, the company provided information on how young teams can enter the Contenders league through the Premier tournament. You can read more about it in our article. In today's announcement, the future of VCT in the EMEA region is more detailed, along with the disclosure of competition start dates in the region.
In 2024, Riot will revise the season point allocation system to reward players throughout the year rather than in specific time periods, as was done previously.
The ability to maintain form over an extended period is a quality inherent in the best teams, and we want to reward those who can show consistent results, regardless of what the season brings them.
Riot also revealed secrets about three other major changes coming in 2024: partner teams, player leasing, and two-way players. VCT teams can enter contracts with organizations competing outside the league, provided they are from the same region. Additionally, teams can lease up to two players in international leagues. Finally, in 2024, "two-way players" will debut—players who can compete in both VCT and other competitions.
