VCT 2024 is going to start with a regional tournament. Here is everything about the VCT 2024 Pacific kickoff.

After a long break, the VALORANT Champions Tour is about to return. VCT 2024 comes packed with a bunch of new additions to the format. Ascension teams from the previous year will also join the battle. However, the most exciting one is probably the inclusion of China as an official region. With this, the number of regions reaches four.

To start the action-packed VALORANT season, teams will fight in their respective regional kickoff tournaments. The top two teams from each region will secure a spot for the first global event, Masters Madrid. However, the addition of championship points has made each match valuable for teams to secure a spot in the Champions.
