‘The First-ever VCT Americas 2023 Split Has Arrived: No Teams Are Considered Bad’

The Exciting Start of the VALORANT Champions Tour Americas Season

The first season of the VALORANT Champions Tour Americas is finally here. Riot Games has hand-picked 10 organizations from North America, Brazil, and Latin America to compete in an eight-week round-robin tournament followed by a double-elimination playoff stage. Matches will be held at the Riot Games Arena in Los Angeles, with fans in attendance.

Teams Share Their Excitement and Expectations

As the historic VALORANT season begins, players and coaches from top organizations like 100 Thieves, Cloud9, NRG, and Sentinels have expressed their excitement and preparations for the tournament. The anticipation for league play is high, and the coaches are thrilled to introduce fans to the Americas league.

A Dream Realized for the VALORANT Community

For many, the launch of this league is the realization of years of hard work. The coaches and players have been striving to reach this point, inspired by the success of the League of Legends partnership league. Now that they are finally here, the excitement is palpable.

LAN Season Brings New Opportunities

One major advantage of the VALORANT Champions Tour Americas season is the opportunity for teams to play on LAN, eliminating the unpredictability of online matches. The coaches and players are thrilled to be playing in a league season, and the support from fans at live events is an added bonus.

Playing in LAN tournaments comes with its own challenges, such as poor sound quality. However, the players are adapting to using multiple audio peripherals to overcome this obstacle.

Intense Competition and High Stakes

The VALORANT Champions Tour Americas season is condensed, with intense competition and high stakes. The top three teams from each regional league will qualify for Masters Tokyo and VALORANT Champions 2023. Strategizing week to week will be crucial for success, as teams aim to secure their spot in these prestigious tournaments.

Teams that do not qualify for Masters Tokyo will have to wait until July for the Last Chance Qualifier. The pressure is on, and the players are aware that their performance in the playoffs will determine their future.

South American Teams Show Promise

Early favorites to come out strong in the VALORANT Champions Tour Americas season are the South American teams. LOUD, Leviatán, and FURIA have received praise for their performance and potential. These teams are expected to make a significant impact in the tournament.

The VALORANT Champions Tour Americas season promises to be an exciting and competitive event. With no shortage of talented teams, fans can look forward to thrilling matches and exceptional gameplay.

The VALORANT Champions Tour Americas season kicks off on Saturday, April 1, with a match between 100 Thieves and Sentinels.
