TIER 1
To reach Tier 1 in the Valorant Champions Tour (VCT), players must progress through Riot’s official competitive ecosystem. The path starts with Premier, Valorant’s in-game competitive mode. Consistent top placements in Premier’s Contender Division qualify teams for the Challengers (VCL) open qualifiers, the gateway to Tier 2 competition. From there, teams must perform well in their regional VCL leagues, earning championship points or promotion opportunities to Ascension, where winning teams are promoted into VCT Tier 1 for the next season.
