The VCT Americas League 2023 has ended and LOUD is the first ever VCT Americas League Champion. Here's everything you need to know about the Americas leg of the Valorant Champions Tour 2023.

After the conclusion of  VCT LOCK//IN Sao Paulo tournament, the 30 participants now focus their goals to the 3 major regional leagues. Each regional league consists of 10 teams that would compete for spots in VCT Masters Tokyo and Valorant Champions. There will be three spots waiting for the Americas League so every game will really count from this point onwards. Another slot is awarded for EMEA in the Masters leg as Fnatic won the Lock In tournament.

The VCT Americas league will be held at the Riot Games Arena, in Los Angeles where the top 10 teams from North America, LATAM and Brazil will face in the first season of the tournament starting on April 1.
 
Here are the participants of the VCT Americas league and their entire registered roster.

Format and Schedule

VCT Americas League will have 3 legs, namely Regular Season, Playoffs, and Last Chance Qualifier on their road to VCT Masters and Champions. The tournament will start on April 1 with the Regular Season having 10 teams battle in a single round-robin stage, with all matches having a best-of-three series. These will be played on Saturdays to Mondays, with the exception of the super week (Thursday through Tuesday) and the final week (Thursday through Saturday). Six of the 10 will only qualify for the double-elimination playoffs and the Top 3 will qualify for VCT Masters Tokyo and Valorant Champions 2023. Again, EMEA will have a 4th spot for Masters for winning the kick off tournament. There will also be a last-chance qualifier in July to secure a spot at the Valorant Champions.

Below is the entire schedule for each stage:

  • Regular Season: April 1-May 20
  • Playoffs: May 23 – May 28
  • Last Chance Qualifier: July 15 – July 23

Grand Finals MVP

VCT Americas only had one MVP trophy, unlike VCT Pacific League having a regular season MVP. Matias “Saadhak” Delipetro recieved the Grand Finals MVP for his high skill performance for the match as well as his shot-calling abilities. Saadhak is the only IGL in VCT history to win an MVP award.
