Valorant Champions 2023: All Participants

Valorant Champions 2023 is the third iteration of Valorant’s world championship and this time around the tournament is taking place in Los Angeles, California. Additionally, this is the first year of Valorant Champions Tour (VCT) franchising and partnership which saw the birth of the EMEA, Americas, and Pacific Leagues. Valorant Champions 2023 will be the last major competitive tournament of this season and the winner will take home the lion’s share of the prize pool that is yet to be announced along with bragging rights.

A total of three teams each from EMEA, Americas League, and Pacific League have already made it to the tournament. Additionally, the three leagues will field one extra team from their respective regional Last Chance Qualifier (LCQ).
