what is going on there, does anyone know if theres more splits or wtv before vct playins
probably yeah, playins only start in like august so they prob do
i was mostly confused cuz spain has already done 3 splits for some reason so i hope they arent done
i also saw that and got hella confused
kinda sounds weird to have a 4th split ngl but it would be nice to have more splits for the t2 guys
i found out and it seems like there is (per the full breakdown at https://valorantesports.com/en-GB/news/2026-emea-challengers-game-changers-and-premier) so yay more vcl
also an image :)

W more things to put on in the background while i work
(i was sad about the otakar loss, but they get to play again LETS GOOOO)
i cant decide if they get another split or not, it doesnt look like they do and it seems to just be points now :/, looking at this:
Firstly, eight of the best performing teams from the regional Challenger Leagues will be given slots – two from NORTH//EAST and from MENA Resilience, and one from France Revolution, DACH Evolution, Spain Rising, and Türkiye Birlik. They will be joined by an additional eight teams from the Challengers circuit by points to take the tournament to a total of 16 teams.
if thats true that reeks because dnsty got cucked into third by bombing out on half of split 3 so now they arent going to stage 3
Yall figured it out above but just to sum it up
There will not be another regional stage. Qualification to EMEA stage 3 is via points https://liquipedia.net/valorant/VCL/2026/EMEA/Circuit_Points .
All teams are already locked (since 1 point in stage 2 is enough to qualify... rip WIP though)
There will be another EMEA stage for the qualified teams https://liquipedia.net/valorant/VCL/2026/EMEA/Stage_3
Additionally there will be https://liquipedia.net/valorant/VCL/2026/EMEA/Last_Chance_Qualifier for teams that failed to qualify in or to EMEA stage 3
These qualify (3 teams from stage 3, 1 team from LCQ) to https://liquipedia.net/valorant/VCT/2026/EMEA_League/Stage_2
sad that tla had to play without gsr and W on navi's run but both are acads so it doesnt matter EP is locked and i think mir too(?)
