Riot Games was kind enough to provide us with more information about VCT Americas 2024. By the looks of it, the action will kick off a few days after the end of the Masters Madrid.  There is not much information regarding the match lineups, but we know some details about the groups and everything, so let’s dive in.

VCT Americas 2024 – The Groups

From what we are aware of, VCT Americas 2024 will be divided into two groups called Omega and Alpha. Omega will have one additional team because of G2 Esport’s addition to the tournament via Ascension

Here is how the group distribution works in Alpha:

  • G2 Esports
  • NRG
  • Cloud9
  • Sentinels
  • KRU Esports

As for Omega, it will have these names:

  • FURIA
  • Evil Geniuses
  • 100 Thieves
  • LOUD
  • MiBR
  • Leviathan

VCT Americas 2024 Format

As we expected, VCT Americas 2024 will have two stages. This is similar to what it was like in 2023 because each stage will have a “ Super Week”, which means that the teams will have to play twice. The format is a single round-robin, where the Games are in Bo3.

Stage 1 will put together the teams from Alpha and Omega against each other. Once it is over, Stage 2 will have an inter-group play. This means the teams will play against their opponents from a specific group.

Keep in mind that VCT Americas 2024 Stage 2 should take place shortly after the Masters Shanghai. We at ESTNN will make sure to provide you with all of the relevant information.

Another important thing to remember is that there will be a playoff bracket following each stage of VCT Americas 2024. The top 3 teams from Alpha and Omega will qualify for Stage 2, where the top six will advance to the next sage. 

Those who secure the top 2 slots will earn the first-round byes. All matches where will be in a Bo3, except for the LB and Grand Finals, which are in a Bo5.

Once Stage 1 is over, the best three teams will advance to Masters Shanghai, whereas the top 3 from Stage 2ill secure a slot for VCT Champions 2024, which will take place in Seoul.

Regarding the Champions Point distribution, here is how it will work:

  • Each win in Stage 1 and 2 during the Regular season will grant 1 point
  • 1 Point will also be given for each match win in the Season Playoffs and Mid-Season
  • Winning Kickoff, the Masters Madrid, and Masters Shanghai will result in 3 points
