2024 VCT

kickoff event (2 week tournament of some kind)--> masters madrid (8 teams, 2 from each league)
split 1 --> masters shanghai (12 teams, 3 from each league)
split 2 --> championship points

top 4 teams in each league by championship points qualify to champs, there is no LCQ

champs is the same 16 team format

I like lcq :(

New format looks cool for tier two and I actually like the idea of the vct points coming back. Only complaint would be the 8 team total masters. I’m not sure if there’s like an actual format change like maybe doing a different style of groups like a round robin for seeding in the playoffs, but if they plan on just instantly seeding the 8 teams into a double elimination playoffs type tournament feels like a bit of an L.

they stated qualification from consistency and best at the moment, so im guessing a direct invite to champions from split 2 is going to be announced.
Top 3 championship points
1st at split 2

where did riot post about this?

Why did they have to reduce team in first masters??? It’s only few days difference if you include group stage. This is so braindead wtf
