VCT Champions 2021: Fixtures, Scores, Group Stage

We’re getting closer and closer to our first year-end peak VALUABLE Championship. And at VCT Champions, a team will be crowned the game’s first official world champion.

Sixteen teams from around the world will compete for a $1 million lion team prize and the honor of being the first to lift the championship trophy. Here’s everything you need to know about VCT Champions in Berlin.

Teams participating in VCT Champions

Sixteen teams from various regions will fly to Berlin to compete on stage. Below are all 16 teams that will compete in the VCT Champions, by region.

• EMEA (Europe, CIS, Turkey): Acend, Gambit, Fnatic, Team Liquid
• North America: Sentinels, Team Envy, Cloud9
• Brazil: Vivo Keyd, Team Vikings, FURIA
• Southeast Asia: X10 Esports, Full Sense, Team Secret
• Korea: Vision striker

Sentinels, Crazy Raccoon and KRU Esports will have the title of being the only three teams participating in Masters Reykjavík, Masters Berlin and Champions.

Formula VCT Champions

The format of the VCT Champions will be the same as at the Masters Berlin. 16 teams were divided into four groups of four. Each group is its own GSL-style knockout, meaning two teams will advance out of each group. According to Riot Games, teams are drawn based on “a combination of their respective final spots at Challenger events and the strength of their region”. Riot also ensures that teams from the same region will not be in the same group.

After the eight teams make it out of the group stage, they will be redrawn as a knockout group. All matches will be best-three, except best-of-five finals totals.

Groups

This is four groups for the group stage of VCT Champions.

• Group A: Acend, Team Envy, Vivo Keyd, X10 Esports
• Group B: Sentinels, Team Liquid, FURIA, KRU Esports
• Group C: Gambit, Crazy Raccoon, Team Secret, Team Vikings
• EASY group: Vision Strikers, Fnatic, Cloud9, Full Sense
