The Valorant Champions Tour (VCT) is Riot Games' official international competitive circuit. Launched in 2021, it features four international leagues — Americas, EMEA, Pacific, and China — culminating in Masters events and the season-ending Valorant Champions world championship. Each season follows a structured format: teams compete in regional league stages to qualify for international playoff events, where the best teams from every region face off for circuit points and prize money.
The VCT calendar typically runs from January through August, with a Kickoff tournament in each league followed by Stage 1 and Stage 2 regular seasons. The top teams from each stage advance to Masters events — international LAN tournaments where champions earn VCT circuit points. These points determine qualification for Valorant Champions, the prestigious year-end world championship where only the best sixteen teams on the planet compete for the title of world champion and a multi-million dollar prize pool.
A professional Valorant match follows the best-of format, with maps played sequentially until one team reaches the required number of wins. Understanding the scoring system helps you follow along with the live schedule more effectively and appreciate the strategic depth of each series.
The standard format for most regular season and group stage matches. The first team to win two maps takes the series. Teams alternate map picks, with each side banning maps from the competitive pool before the veto process determines which maps are played.
Reserved for grand finals and upper bracket finals at international events. The first team to win three maps claims victory, testing every roster's map pool depth and stamina across a potentially five-hour series.
Before each match, teams go through a pick-and-ban phase where they remove maps they're weak on and select maps from the remaining pool. This strategic layer means a team's map pool depth is just as important as their mechanical skill.
The competitive map pool in Valorant rotates with each Act, and the active maps heavily influence which agents and team compositions dominate the professional meta. Understanding map dynamics helps you follow tournament drafts and veto strategies more intelligently.
Riot maintains a seven-map active pool for competitive and professional play, rotating maps in and out with each new Act. Maps like Ascent and Bind are perennial favorites due to their balanced layout, while newer additions like Abyss and Sunset introduce fresh strategic possibilities that pro teams spend weeks labbing before tournaments.
Professional team compositions typically follow a structured format: one Controller for map-wide smoke coverage, one Sentinel for flank watch and site anchoring, one Initiator for information gathering and site entry, and two Duelists or a flex pick depending on the map. The most successful teams adapt their agent pool to the map rather than forcing comfort picks onto unfavorable layouts. Browse our complete agent guide to understand each agent's role in competitive compositions.
Each Valorant patch can shift the professional meta dramatically. Agent buffs and nerfs determine pick rates at the highest level — when Chamber received significant nerfs after his dominance in 2022, teams worldwide had to restructure their entire defensive setups. Following patch notes alongside the VCT schedule helps you understand why certain agents appear more frequently in tournament play.
Different regions favor distinct playstyles that show up in agent selection. Korean teams often prioritize methodical execute-heavy compositions with double Initiator setups, while Brazilian rosters lean toward aggressive Duelist-heavy comps that thrive in chaotic execute scenarios. North American teams frequently innovate with unconventional agent picks that catch opponents off guard during international events.
Keeping up with the professional Valorant scene can feel overwhelming with matches happening across four international leagues simultaneously. Here are practical tips to get the most out of your viewing experience and actually learn from watching the pros.
Instead of trying to watch every match, pick one or two teams that play agents or styles you enjoy. Following their journey through the season makes each match more engaging and helps you learn their signature strategies.
When available, watch the player perspective of someone who plays your main agent. Pay attention to their crosshair placement, ability usage timings, and positioning — these micro-decisions are what separate pros from ranked players. Then practice what you learned in our reaction time trainer and headshot trainer.
Pro teams run coordinated site executes that combine multiple abilities. Watching how they layer smokes, flashes, and recon utility can give you execution ideas for your own competitive games. Explore our interactive map tactics to study common executes on every map.
Live broadcasts on Twitch and YouTube often include Twitch drops for exclusive in-game rewards like player cards and gun buddies. Check the match cards above — live matches are marked with a pulsing red indicator and stream links.
