The Challengers League NA is the ultimate proving ground for some iconic names in VALORANT, with teams fiercely competing to determine if they have what it takes for a coveted spot amongst the very best of their region.
For the players and their organizations, the stakes remain high as we reach the end of the regular season. From G2’s deadly duo of ShahZam and dapr, to creator-made organizations like Moist Moguls and Disguised dominating the scene, every team is looking toward the upcoming playoffs and the prospect of glory while winning it all.
Here’s everything you need to know about the next stage of the Challengers League NA!
After eight grueling weeks of competition, we enter the final stages of competition for the year, with the top eight teams securing their position in the 2024 Challengers League NA.
On June 4, the remaining four teams will compete in the Play-In Relegation Tournament, an elimination stage where they’ll be seeded 9-12 through a randomized drawing, before competing in a 4-team GSL-style double elimination bracket.
Each match will be a Bo3, and when the dust settles, the top two teams will return to the Challengers League NA for the 2024 season, while the bottom two teams are relegated out of the league.
SCHEDULE
Day 1: (June 4th)

Day 2: (June 5th)

Heading into the 2024 season, the two newly open slots will be fought for through an Open Qualifier where the winner of the upper and lower bracket finals will qualify into the League. Teams that were recently relegated out of the Challengers League will have their chance at redemption and are allowed to play in the Open Qualifier tournament.
