While the format is yet to be announced, the playoffs will be held from July 3-16 in Shanghai, China, marking the first offline event for the region. Amongst the 12 teams, four had already qualified for the playoffs earlier based on the results of FGC Valorant Invitational: Act 1 and 2, while the rest of the participants played through a preliminary Swiss stage one month earlier in June.
