This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 35.171.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:20, 2 December 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''''Valorant'' Champions Tour''' ('''VCT''') is a global competitive [[esports]] tournament series for the video game ''[[Valorant]]'' organised by [[Riot Games]], the game's developers. The series runs multiple events throughout each season, culminating in ''Valorant'' Champions, the top-level event of the tour. The VCT was announced in 2020, with its inaugural season taking place in 2021.

== History ==
=== 2021–2022: Open-qualifiers era ===
In November 2020, [[Riot Games]] announced the first ''Valorant'' Champions Tour, a tournament series divided into three tiers: Challengers, Masters, and Champions. Challengers would act as the lowest tier, split into seven regions: North America, Brazil, Latin America (Hispanic America), EMEA, Southeast Asia (later included South Asia and Oceania, become to Asia-Pacific), Korea, Japan. Teams that advance past Challengers would move on to Masters, where teams would not be divided by regions anymore, and the top 16 teams from Masters would move on to Champions, the final tournament of VCT.<ref>((cite news |last1=Webster |first1=Andrew |title=Valorant Champions Tour is a global season-long esports competition for 2021 |url=https://www.theverge.com/2020/11/24/21612562/valorant-champions-tour-esports-2021 |access-date=June 12, 2022 |work=[[The Verge]] |date=November 24, 2020))</ref> In February 2021, they announced the VCT Game Changers, a supplementary tournament initiative for women and marginalized genders.<ref>((cite news |last1=Takahashi |first1=Dean |title=Valorant's Game Changers tournaments will highlight women and marginalized people |url=https://venturebeat.com/2021/02/23/valorants-game-changers-tournaments-will-highlight-women-and-marginalized-people/ |access-date=June 12, 2022 |work=[[VentureBeat]] |date=February 23, 2021))</ref>

== Leagues and format ==

=== Franchised leagues ===

==== International Leagues ====
As of 2023, 30 teams are selected to be partner teams in International Leagues for five years with 10 teams per region. Non-partner teams compete in many sub-regions of Challengers events to qualify for "Ascension" events. The Ascension events will have one winner per region, which earns them a two-year promotion into their regions' International League. The promoted teams will have a chance to qualify for the global tournaments (Masters and Champions), as well as get benefits provided to other partnered teams. Each year through the Challengers promotion system, the three International Leagues will expand by one team each, until they reach a cap of 14 teams in each region in 2027.<ref>((Cite web |title=VALORANT Esports |url=https://valorantesports.com/news/introducing-the-valorant-challengers-23/ |access-date=2023-06-03 |website=valorantesports.com))</ref><ref>((Cite web |date=2022-08-16 |title=VCT 2023: Challengers leagues and Challengers Ascension explained |url=https://nerdstreet.com/news/2022/8/valorant-vct-2023-challengers-leagues-challengers-ascension |access-date=2023-06-03 |website=Nerd Street |language=en))</ref>

Teams in each International League will play on [[Local area network|LAN]] in a centralized local: [[Los Angeles]] for the Americas League, [[Berlin]] for the EMEA League, and [[Seoul]] for the Pacific League.<ref>((Cite web |date=September 21, 2022 |title=2023 VALORANT TEAMS REVEAL |url=https://valorantesports.com/vct-teams |access-date= |website=VALORANT Esports))</ref>

==== China League ====
Right from global launch, although ''Valorant'' had not been licensed for release in [[China]], Riot Games showed favor towards Chinese players by allowed Chinese teams to participate in global tournaments (Masters and Champions) through achievements in domestic tournaments from locally third party organizations.((Efn|Although it has the same status as the game had not been officially released locally, in contrast to the favor given to China, Riot Games did not allow players and teams from Vietnam to participate in 2020 First Strike and 2021 VCT stage 1.))

Since 2024, with ''Valorant'' licensed for release in China, Riot directly organizes a own league specifically for the only country that they considers a pro region on the same level as the three International Leagues for many countries, as well as competition slots for only teams from China at Masters and Champions.<ref>((Cite web |title=Announcing The 2024 VALORANT Champions Tour |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=363djMlT7Ck&t=238s&ab_channel=VALORANTChampionsTour |website=VALORANT Champions Tour (YouTube)))</ref> They also soon announced to host a Masters in Shanghai and released new Chinese agent ''Iso'' alongside previous agent ''Sage''.

== Awards ==

=== Masters ===
The original masters trophy was unveiled by Riot at a May 2021 media preview event in the build up to Masters Reykjavik. It features a metal bottom and a glass top.

The trophy was redesigned in 2023, again by Volpin Props, to be reusable for Masters tournaments in multiple regions.<ref>((Cite web |title=Valorant Masters Trophy – Volpin Props |url=https://www.volpinprops.com/portfoliopage/valorant-masters-trophy/ |access-date=2023-09-08 |language=en-US))</ref> It stands at 18 inches and features a swappable 'Radianite' core. For ''Masters Tokyo'', it featured duelist Yoru's ultimate [[Oni]] mask. The body of the trophy is palladium-plated with plastic components.

=== Champions ===
The Valorant Champions trophy was first unveiled ahead of Valorant Champions 2021. Also designed and built by Volpin Props of [[Atlanta|Atlanta, Georgia]], it stands at 2 feet tall and is partially 3D-printed, with 24 karat gold decoration overlayed.<ref>((Cite web |title=Valorant World Championship Cup – Volpin Props |url=https://www.volpinprops.com/portfoliopage/valorant-world-championship-cup/ |access-date=2023-09-08 |language=en-US))</ref>
