Valorant gets its biggest VCT shake-up ever, and it could be the best thing to happen to it
Riot Games is overhauling the Valorant Champions Tour for 2027, moving away from regional leagues to a more open, tournament-driven format. This change aims to foster more underdog stories and global competitiveness by increasing the number of tournaments and prize pools. While partnered teams will retain some benefits, the new structure emphasizes performance in regional 'VCT Cups' to qualify for international events like Masters and Champions.
