NEWLY ADDED REGIONS

The VCT 2022 season is structured around 3 global events, Masters 1, Masters 2 and Champions. From the APAC level, teams can expect to fight through a three-stage competitive format for the chance to compete at the global events.

  1. Local Challengers: Teams will participate in local-level tournaments for a chance to secure a seed at the Regional Playoffs.
  2. Regional Playoffs: Teams that qualify for Playoffs will compete for Circuit Points. Those with high enough points will be invited to Global Events.
  3. Global Events: These international events come with prestige, high prize pools and massive Circuit Point pools.
