2024 marked yet another electrifying year for VCT Americas. We saw Sentinels finally take home another global trophy with a victory in Madrid, Leviatan take the crown in VCT Americas, and incredible performances at Champions Seoul that put two teams in the Top 4 but fell just short.
After being home to the previous two Champions winners, it’s time for the Americas to show everyone once again that it’s the region to beat and reclaim the top spot in 2025.
As we look ahead to the new season, we say goodbye to some legends but welcome in new faces to VCT Americas. Bem-vinda, 2Game! The journey to Champions Paris is a long one, and it all starts with VCT Americas Kickoff - where we’ll get a first-look at 12 of the best VCT teams in the world.
The first milestone is reaching the VCT Americas Kickoff Grand Finals and earning the right to represent the Americas at Masters Bangkok.
Who you got?
TOURNAMENT SCHEDULE AND FORMAT
After an incredible finish to the Spotlight Series Americas event, all eyes turned to the Kickoff Draw Show where all 12 teams found out who they will be matched up against in the tournament.
This year’s Kickoff will feature a double-elimination tournament. Here is a look at the bracket:
Teams were seeded into the bracket through a random draw.
