Riot Games Unveils Overhauled Structure for VALORANT Champions Tour in 2025 Season

Posted : 23 June 2024

Riot Games has unveiled significant changes to the VALORANT Champions Tour (VCT) for the 2025 season, aimed at restructuring the Challengers and Ascension promotion systems.

 

Starting next year, promoted Challenger teams will no longer face automatic relegation, allowing them the opportunity to maintain their tier-one status based on performance rather than a fixed term. Ascension teams, which are non-Riot-partnered organizations in international regions, can now remain in tier-one leagues indefinitely, contingent upon meeting specific performance criteria outlined by Riot Games.

 

The current practice of fixed two-year terms for Ascension teams will be replaced with a more flexible system. Promoted teams will initially be granted a one-year term, extendable based on their performance. Qualification for the VCT Champions event provides an Ascension team with an additional year, with potential adjustments if multiple Ascension teams from a single league qualify.

 

Teams not qualifying for automatic extensions but finishing within the top eight of their leagues will need to defend their tier-one status through the region's Ascension tournament. Conversely, Ascension teams finishing in the bottom four during their league's Stage 2 split will face automatic relegation.

 

To streamline competition and enhance year-long engagement, Riot Games will introduce additional tournaments in the tier two Challengers leagues. A new third stage following the Ascension tournaments aims to maintain continuity and competitiveness throughout the year, bridging the gap between seasons for participating teams.

 

Furthermore, Riot plans to align the Premier feature of VALORANT, which facilitates Challengers qualification, with the tier two Challengers stages. This synchronization aims to clarify competition timelines and intensify stakes for each Invite act, enhancing the overall coherence of the Challengers calendar.
