What’s in store for the VALORANT Champions Tour (VCT) 2024?
The prestigious VALORANT Champions 2024 will be held in Seoul, South Korea, following the ongoing VCT Pacific Kickoff and the Pacific League. This makes Seoul the third city in the Asian continent to host an international VALORANT esports Tournament, after Tokyo (Masters 2023) and Shanghai (Masters 2024). The event will span three weeks, where top teams from around the world will compete to determine the 2024 VCT World Champion.
Last year’s VCT Masters Tokyo showcased the immense passion of Asian VALORANT fans. The popularity of VALORANT in Asia is further evidenced by the VALORANT Challengers League Japan, which is the most-watched Challengers League globally, according to data from Esports Charts.
