What’s at stake in Paris

This year’s format ensured each group only contains one team per region, with seeding playing a huge role in the opening fixtures. Stage 2 winners qualified directly, while the remaining spots went to teams with the highest Championship points.

With every region represented, from the fast-rising Chinese squads to the heavyweights of EMEA and the Americas, VALORANT Champions Paris 2025 promises a month of unforgettable matches. If there’s one group to keep an eye on, it has to be Group C, where the competition looks as fierce as the knockout rounds themselves.

The countdown is on, and from September 12 Paris will be the heart of VALORANT.
