    The tournament begins with the Swiss Stage running from 7–11 June, followed by the Playoffs starting 15 June, and concluding with the Grand Finals on 22 June.

    Twelve elite teams - drawn from the top three finishers in each of the Pacific, Americas, EMEA, and CN international leagues - will battle it out for a share of the $250,000 prize pool and crucial Championship Points, which help determine qualification for VALORANT Champions.

    In the Swiss Stage, teams with identical records face off. Two wins secure a playoff berth, while two losses mean elimination. Among the most hyped clashes is the 8 June faceoff between Gen.G and MiBR.

    The match pits Gen.G's aggressive fragger Kim 't3xture' Na-ra against MiBR's Erick 'aspas' Santos - an accomplished talent with a VALORANT Champions 2022 title, a runner-up finish at LOCK//IN 2023, and a third-place showing in Champions 2023.

    Four teams have already secured direct berths into the Playoffs: Team Liquid, XLG Esports, G2 Esports, and Fnatic.

    The Playoffs follow a double-elimination format, with most matches best-of-three, except the lower-bracket final and the grand final, which will be contested as best-of-five thrillers.
