The VCT EMEA League 2023 has ended and Team Liquid is the first ever VCT EMEA League Champion. Here's everything you need to know about the EMEA 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 EMEA 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.
