Don’t miss the excitement as some of the region’s greatest teams compete for a last spot in the VALORANT Champions

- Southeast Asia – 3
- China – 2
- Korea – 2

- South Asia – 1
Teams with the highest Circuit points in the region but who have not yet qualified for the tournament will be given slots. The results of the Stage 3 Masters competition in Berlin will determine these teams.

The top-seeded teams from Southeast Asia, China, Korea, and Japan will be seeded into the second round to make up the 10-team bracket, with the exception that Southeast Asian teams cannot be matched against each other in the first round. For the first round, the remaining teams will be seeded at random.
Between October 11 and 16, teams will compete in a double-elimination bracket with a best-of-3 format at each stage, culminating in the Grand Finals on October 17, which will be in a best-of-5 style.
