EMEA VCT Stage 2 Challengers: VALORANT main event schedule, scores, and standings

Following the conclusion of VCT Champions 2021, the attention of the competitive VALORANT world was drawn to the EMEA region after their impressive overall showing at the first ever world championship. But everything that could go wrong did at the 2022 EMEA VCT Stage One Challengers main event. Matches were postponed due to the Ukraine crisis, the winners in FPX were unable to attend Masters, and only one EMEA team finished even in the top six in Iceland.

The 12 teams competing in the main event of the second stage will now have to put all that behind them. And given the showing by the region at Masters Reykjavík, the door has been opened even more for any team to make a deep run in this stage and lock in a Champions spot.

Here’s everything you need to keep up with the EMEA VCT Challengers Two main event, including teams, standings, schedules, and results.

Teams and groups

Here are the 12 teams competing in the EMEA VCT Stage Two Challengers main event.

• FunPlus Phoenix
• G2 Esports
• Fnatic
• Team Liquid
• M3 Champions
• Guild Esports
• Natus Vincere
• BBL Esports
• OG LDN UTD
• Acend
• FOKUS
• BIG

With the exception of FOKUS and BIG, all the EMEA teams retained their spots in the VCT Stage Two Challengers main event by avoiding the relegation spot during Stage One. BIG finished last in their group with a 0-5 record but reclaimed their spot in the Promotion Tournament, where VRL DACH winner FOKUS also claimed their spot.

Format

The format for EMEA VCT Stage Two Challengers follows the same format as Stage One. The teams will compete in a round-robin group stage to determine the standings for the playoffs, with the top three teams from each group advancing. The playoffs are a six-team double-elimination bracket, with the top seed from each group starting in the second round of the upper bracket.

All matches are best-of-three, except for the lower bracket final and the grand final of the playoffs, which will be best-of-five.

Unlike last stage, there is no relegation since this is the last stage of the year.
