After the successful conclusion of the first Valorant Champions Tour, it looks like Riot Games are ready to reveal more details about the upcoming season. Announced in a press release yesterday, here’s what's changed:

South Asia and Oceania to play alongside Southeast Asia in the APAC Circuit. This brings the total number of participating regions to 8. This is the slot allocation for VCT 2022 APAC:

With the inclusion of more regions, it looks like qualifiers for the major tournaments are going to be a lot tougher than before.

The VCT 2022 season is structured around 3 global events: Masters 1, Masters 2 and Champions. From the APAC level, teams can expect to fight through a three-stage competitive format for the chance to compete at the global events.

1. Local Challengers: Teams will participate in local-level tournaments for a chance to secure a seed at the Regional Playoffs.
2. Regional Playoffs: Teams that qualify for Playoffs will compete for Circuit Points. Those with high enough points will be invited to Global Events.
3. Global Events: These international events come with prestige, high prize pools and massive Circuit Point pools.

Registrations are now open for the first qualifier, so if you’ve got a team that’s ready to go, make sure you sign up now! Stay tuned to eGG Network for more news and updates about VCT 2022.
