Riot Games today announced details about the 2023 VALORANT Champions Tour format and new events.

This one-off event starts in February and the winner will be announced in early March. The winning team gives their league the right to send another team to the Masters, the first international event of the season.

After that, the first competitive circuit of the year starts in EMEA, the Pacific and the Americas, with weekly competitions taking place. International League matches take place in three cities, Berlin, Seoul and Los Angeles. In these cities, where players will showcase their talents, events in many different languages ​​are held for audiences around the world. This half kicks off in March and will be an eight-week regular season. Three national champions will be determined in May. There will be two international competition circuits in the coming seasons, but one circuit and one international tournament will be held in 2023 to give the teams enough time to prepare.
