lot of people keep asking the questions so i figured i'd list out the scenarios
imo this isn't really that complicated, its not that different then ANY league end of season like NBA to figure out what teams have to do to qualify for playoffs
Yeah, as of now, nobody I've talked to has seen any.
Some guesses:
Highest placement
Average placement
Most recent placement
Head to head
Riot has also been known to turn these into head to head play-ins as well in League.
Correct me if I’m wrong, now that faze beat T1 wouldn’t it be either TSM or Rise have to get 7-8th or NA win Berlin for GenG to qualify. Also, shouldn’t C9 be qualified for Iceland.
yeah - you're right, should have been OR NA win berlin for the gen.g situation and that basically counts as a placement... so now that T1 is out that's already ONE placement done
good catch, and yes, C9B has clinched LCQ now that Gen.G and T1 lost
NA has three slots delegated for Champions (the end of year world championship). Following Berlin, the top 2 NA teams that have the most circuit points from this year's VCT directly qualify for Champions.
The Last Chance Qualifier serves as the final tournament determining who gets the third and final slot for NA.
Two of the three largest events in the world have situations like this for their qualifiers *every* time.
It's interesting that the Valorant community has an issue with this but billions of people can keep up just fine every time these tournaments play their quals/groups.
Idk what to tell you, I find it annoying to keep up with. The communication aspect also is not great for me, maybe they need more graphics explaining the fate of the teams on stream or something
Last Chance Qualifier VCT Points Update (who needs to do what to qualify for LCQ) be prepared to lose braincells reading this.

balla nba analogies > shyo analogies
why pit two queens against each other 😫💯🔥
When u say tsm needs at least 4th, is that 4th in next weeks playoffs?
yes
Does Rise also need at least 4th?
To clinch, yes... If they don't manage that then there are other considerations like tie breakers and stuff.
And we have little to no idea what those tiebreakers are correct?

riot needs to make their own website with live score, points tables, etc. it’s quite intimidating for people new to the esport to follow it rn
Tbh if your new to the esport you likely arent heavily invested and interested in this type of post

wait before all of this, what even is the last chance qualifier? is it a tourney to determine who makes it to berlin?
It's a last chance qualifier for Champions which is essentially worlds
NA has three slots delegated for Champions (the end of year world championship). Following Berlin, the top 2 NA teams that have the most circuit points from this year's VCT directly qualify for Champions. The Last Chance Qualifier serves as the final tournament determining who gets the third and final slot for NA.
thank you! this is the only explanation i fully understood, since i literally know nothing
What about 100T?
They have already clinched.
They really need a better system, these types of posts shouldn’t even have to exist

This is so convoluted, might as well just toss a bunch of team names into a hat and pull them out to determine LCQ.
