VCT, or the Valorant Champions Tour, is a yearly competitive circuit involving a Kickoff, two Stages, two Masters events, and concludes in the annual Champions event - crowning the ultimate VCT champion. But VCT wasn’t always the smoothly run, highly competitive esport that we all know and love today. VCT’s inaugural season was in 2021, when most esports still used an open circuit method. All you needed to do to join the ranks of the VCT was find 5 players and form a team. Because of this, over 10,000 teams competed in the original VCT. Just like today, there were Masters events and Champions events, but there were 3 Masters events in the original year. The first Masters ever was held in Reykjavik, Iceland - and Sentinels came out on top. The original Sentinels roster was mainly filled with former professional Counter-Strike players such as TenZ and SicK - and they dominated the competition. They ended up winning 3-0 in the grand finals. This primary event was a good test for how VCT competition would run, but it wouldn’t be considered one of the best events. Besides this, 2021 was a relatively slow year concluding in Acend winning an upset against Gambit Esports by a narrow scoreline of 3-2. The most important thing to highlight about this Acend roster is that they were not all former Counter-Strike pros. Zeek and Starxo were both former Fortnite professional players, which gave the Valorant community some hope that it wouldn’t be dominated by CS:GO pros.
In 2022, the VCT ran again - but with a few slight changes. The original Gambit Esports team was originally going to be forced to disband due to them being based in Russia, but since they had performed so well internationally and even claimed a Masters title, they were allowed to compete as ‘M3C’ - short for Masters 3 Champions. Some notable upsets were Vision Strikers vs F4Q - as Vision Strikers were on a 100+ match win streak and F4Q were simply a team of content creators. Later on, Vision Strikers would become DRX. 2022 was a mostly uneventful year besides the one major VCT storyline of 2022 of LOUD vs Optic. Every time they played, it would be an exciting series watched by millions of fans worldwide - and eventually they ended up in the Masters Reykjavik 2022 Grand Finals. This time, it wouldn’t be as close as Optic would cleanly 3-0 sweep LOUD. This wouldn’t be the last time the two teams faced, however. In the final VCT event of 2022 - VCT Champions, they would once again meet. As the whole world watched, LOUD toppled Optic to end a year-long rivalry and become world champions, off the back of brilliant performances by Aspas and Saadhak. Besides this, 2022 wasn’t the greatest year for VCT - but I would like to highlight the match between FPX and DRX as Ardiis hit some insane shots during round 25 and Stax literally made out with his mouse on stage after a 2 vs. 4 clutch.
In 2023, VCT would change forever. Instead of having an open circuit where any team could compete, they would adopt a more traditional sports method - franchising teams. The original VCT league would have 32 partnered teams split across 4 leagues: Americas, EMEA, Pacific, and China. The three non-Chinese regions would recieve 10 teams each, and the new Chinese region would only have two teams, Edward Gaming and FunPlus Phoenix. The choice to host 32 teams was not by accident, as all 32 teams were instantly flown out to Sao Paulo, Brazil (this will be important later) for a single-elimination, all or nothing tournament called LOCK///IN. While Optic didn’t make the cut for franchising due to external reasons within the org, a new challenger arose. Fnatic had been coming so close to a win, and with the signing of Gambit superstar Chronicle, the hopes for another European trophy looked possible. However, LOUD also looked formidable with the pickup of Cauanzin, a promising initiator main. Both teams easily won their first four matches, and so both teams met in the grand finals. As the reigning international champions, the Brazilian LOUD squad was heavily favored to win - espcially in front of the Brazilian home crowd; so when the first two maps of the best-of-5 series went the way of Fnatic, the crowd was stunned. However, LOUD punched back winning maps 3 and 4 to bring it to the decider map 5: Icebox. LOUD would pull ahead with a 9 to 3 score at halftime, and after a pistol win by LOUD and a failed force buy by Fnatic, the score was 11 to 3. Everyone thought it was over. LOUD had reverse swept Fnatic and pulled off the first best-of-5 reverse sweep in VCT history. However, Fnatic refused to lose, refused to give up. They won round, after round, after round, after round - and managed to bring it back to an 11 to 11 score. With Aspas finding another kill, it was all in the hands of Alfajer. One man up against two to decide who would reach the score of 12 and bring it to match and series point and who would be pushed to the brink of elimination.
In a stunning turn of events, Alfajer dealt with the double swing perfectly! Fnatic now had the lead in a map that looked unwinnable. All they had to do was win one final round to close it out - and yet they came up short. After twenty-four grueling rounds of Valorant, there had been no conclusion to the match, both teams deadlocked in a twelve to twelve score. When Fnatic took the twenty-fifth round, it looked like we finally could have a winner, and this time it was real. Fnatic closed out the best comeback of all time, synonymizing the Fnatic name with coming out on top during an unwinnable scenario - toppling the Brazilian squad in front of their home crowd.
The second major event was Masters Tokyo - which Fnatic won in clean fashion. One of the most memorable highlights of this tournament was from Chinese rookie ZmjjKK and his famous Operator celebration in which he pointed at the enemy and pretended to snipe them. This, too, was cleanly won by Fnatic - giving Chronicle his 3rd international title, a record yet to be beaten or even matched.
One team I haven’t bothered to mention was Evil Genuises, for the sole reason being that for all of 2021 and 2022 they floated around the bottom of the tier 1 level and never really made an impact on the scene as a whole. However, one singular kill would change all of that. They were projected to place 4th in the Americas league for 2023, missing the Champions LA event by one singular slot. That is, if MIBR didn’t choke against 100 Thieves… MIBR had been consistently one of the worst teams in the league, and they were playing with their coach/substitute TxoziN. However, in a shocking turn of events, the Brazilian squad bested 100 Thieves, which propelled Evil Genuises into the 3rd seed and allowed them to make Champions. The final kill was made by the sub/coach TxoziN of all people, and with a knife!

Yep, thats why its pretty bad to be underweight, and why child obesity is such a problem
They downvoted him cause he told the truth
Primmie is pistol merchant, and looks shit for rest of the game
Unsolicited horny messages to random women is sexual harassment dude
Not being acceptable towards all facset of fans. Why are you like this?
Nah uh Flor cooks everyone in VCT
Counter point. Flor is Viet, so you are being racist to Viet
What bait? You are just hateful transphobe who can't accept the fact
Bait used to be believable.
Flor owns statspas. He could never get this many kills without baiting 100% of the time
lowkey transphobic. She is girl pro at pro level. She is the best duelist in the world
Hating the goat aint gonna prove I am baiting mang
Keznit who. She drop kicks low rent Marved
Just leveling it up with plots that are not ai generated
You are wrong, and Flor is better than Jawg. And every duelists to ever exist. She rose from the GC (Garbage Center) and said it was enough. Now she retains the status as the goat
Right? There is no way any of these duelists can go this postive on match up against a team like Navi
Because Flor is thier floor
what is this ass? At least put on sen flair before baiting
EG 3-0
Miniboo was ass the whole meta. Thats why he was so hated
dude they are losing 10-0 lead against probably the worst team in VCT.
If TH lose this, they gotta be top 3 worst team in vct right?
is Flor the goat or are they just dogshit
More like acetone. I think T1 better right now but DRX is potential man like SEN.
I dont think there is desposable role for Freeing in T1. Everyone serves their own purpose. Weakest player I can think of in their team is Sylvian but they cant win without him for some reason so he must be doing something
it was either gonna be him or jingg. Pretty obivously Jingg has more brand
She is the goat because she is trans. Its an experience of utmost transformation that makes her a vassal for goat status
its relative to episode/battle days count. Like there are 27 or so days left. Black market comes around like 15th day
