Several new initiatives and changes have been announced for 2022, including the creation of national leagues, the expansion of Game Changers, the alteration of the Challengers format, the inclusion of \"offseason\" events run by third-party organizers, and more. Here's a comprehensive guide to all things VCT 2022. VALORANT Champions Tour 2022 format There are going to be a lot of changes to the VCT format for 2022, but the overall premise is still the same. Each region will have a Challengers stage with the winning teams advancing to international LAN competition at Masters events before a final Champions tournament at the end of the year. This year, however, instead of three stages of Challengers and Masters events before Champions in December, there will be two stages prior to a Champions event currently set for September. The final months of the year will be set aside for \"offseason series and events\" run by third-party organizers. See Valorant on Amazon The main events for each Challengers stage are changing, too. Instead of three separate double-elimination brackets stemming from open qualifiers for each Challengers main event, each Challengers stage will feature one qualifier leading to a seven-week main event, with five weeks of round-robin play culminating in a double-elimination bracket to determine who will go to Masters. Masters Two will award an automatic berth to Champions for the first-place finisher. Within EMEA, eight different regional leagues are being run alongside the Challengers events: Spain, France, Turkey, CIS, MENA, DACH (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), Northern Europe, and Eastern Europe. The winner of each league's season advances to a promotion tournament with two spots in Challengers Two on the line. Additionally, Game Changers is returning as a supplement to the VCT for 2022. The format will be the same as 2021, with three different series featuring an open qualifier and a double-elimination bracket. This year, however, Game Changers will culminate in the first international Game Changers Championship. VALORANT Champions Tour 2022 schedule Here's the current schedule for VCT 2022.
