After the spectacular VCT LOCK//IN, it’s time for teams to compete in their respective region league. The single 2023 split for all three international VALORANT regions becomes significantly more crucial, particularly in light of the implications for Masters Tokyo and Champions 2022 qualification. Valorant Esports announced regional leagues will start with the America region league, VCT Americas.

VCT Americas makes its official season debut at the Riot Games Arena in Los Angeles on April 1. Here is everything you need to know about #VCTAmericas 2023:

In this tournament, all 10 American franchised teams will compete to get spots in VCT Masters Tokyo and the biggest stage of all, VCT Champions 2023. Only one Americas region team managed to qualify for playoffs in VCT LOCK//IN, i.e LOUD. The pressure to perform has increased as a result of all the preparation work done throughout the offseason.

Coming out of LOCK/IN, the competition in the VCT Americas League will be as fierce as ever. Here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming VCT Americas League 2023.

Valorant Esports reveal details about VCT Americas League 2023

Format

The tournament will feature an eight-week round-robin format. Each team will compete against each team in a best-of-three. Teams will play matches on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays. However, during the mid-season super week, there will be a match on Tuesday too.

After the group stage, the top 6 teams will advance to the double-elimination playoff. After the playoffs, the top 3 teams will qualify for VCT Masters Tokyo and VCT Champions 2023. Other remaining teams will compete in NA Last Chance Qualifier in July for the last spot in VCT Champions 2023.

VCT Americas Teams and their roster

All 10 franchised teams will take part in this tournament. As for the roster goes, every team except Sentinels and Cloud 9, will feature the same team as you saw in VCT LOCK//IN. Sentinels will be looking for their 6th member after SicK‘s suspension. Cloud9 a few days ago parted ways with Yay and now there are reports that their IGL Vanity is parting ways with org. So players might see a newly revamped Cloud9 in the VCT Americas League. However, Cloud9 is yet to announce anything related to Vanity. Here are all the teams with their respective roster:
