VCT Americas keeps moving forward, and so do the teams chasing their dreams of reaching VALORANT Champions Paris.

After an intense Masters Bangkok, it’s time to look ahead to VCT Americas Stage 1, where the competition heats up even more. All eyes are on G2, the team that dominated Kickoff 2025 and made it to the Masters Bangkok Grand Final. But the big question remains—can anyone stop them?

The stakes are even higher now. Stage 1 will determine three teams that will qualify for Masters Toronto, and this time, the Americas teams will have to defend their home turf.

Who will rise to the challenge? Who will adapt best to the latest changes in the meta? The race to Champions Paris is in full swing, and the world is watching VCT Americas. The fight for regional dominance has never been more intense—every match, every strategy, and every clutch play could make the difference.

The battle continues on March 21. Are you ready?

TOURNAMENT SCHEDULE AND FORMAT

In case you missed it, the Stage 1 Draw Show determined the groups and matchups of all 12 teams.

Here are the Alpha and Omega groups:

Teams are split into two groups and will compete in a round-robin format within their group. The top four teams from each group advance to playoffs, where the #1 seed earns a Round 1 bye and the #4 seed starts in the Lower Bracket.

VCT Americas will have four days of matches in an alternate studio during both Stage 1 and Stage 2.
