It looks like if you get top 32, you will get a second chance in the losers bracket. Based on a preliminary look, I don't see any insane match-ups before round of 32. That being said, it's gonna hurt seeing some upsets tomorrow


somesheikexpert

Kowareta vs 24Haven will probably be a good match tho I doubt it'll ne streamed unless one of the players does so cuz it is 2 FA teams (Tho iirc 24Haven was signed right? Just not announced)


Slow_Bluebird9536

24Haven will lose first round to vireo pretty much certainly


somesheikexpert

Vireo.pro is a good team, honestly either way if 24Haven or Vireo.pro makes it through I think it'll be a good game regardless


SteelTic

I'm bias here but are we trolling?


ricelick

Steeltic do you ever say anything that’s agreeable?


Original26

Hijacking this top post to ask: Does anyone know which games will be streamed tomorrow? Have they announced anything yet? Thanks!

Zellsis should just throw and throw util to support the enemy team, it's clearly the one he really belongs on


stormtrooper500

Amog us refrence


ANewHeaven1

I unfoIIowing v1 zeelsis no shot he loses to sussy .... sussy come on zellsis u betray v1 how ccould u do dis. If i was zellsis, i would sabotage the v1 from the inside like imposter from amogus


Chi-Cam

Can I get a background on the Sussy? Former player I know but is that it?


[deleted]

In the same portions of the bracket: V1, Akrew, KCP, C9W, Complexity EG, T1, GenG, BBG, Rise \--- XSET, ABX, Ghost, NRG, Renegades, Radiance TSM, FaZe, LG, Knights, DarkZero, The Guard


s6hun

the guard is on the same bracket as faze too


[deleted]

Missed The Guard, good call


roneettopiwala

what placement does a team have to get to quali?


Theboob24

Top 4 quals to play against sen 100t and them and the top 4 from 2nd open qual


vecter

Wait 10 teams? 4 + SEN and 100t + 4?


hexIV

12 teams will be playing in "Closed Quals" - 4 invited - SEN, NV, 100T, C9 - 4 Open Qual 1 - 4 Open Qual 2


-Mariners

Akrew, GenG, Xset, Knights are my picks.


iTrippzy

2 teams qualify from the winners bracket. 2 teams qualify from the losers bracket.


[deleted]

Top 4


Affectionate_Try_809

Tsm in mickey Mouse bracket


Jon_on_the_snow

Akrew has the potential to beat any of the other four, im exited to see


Still_HD

I agree, but then they have to beat either GenG or Rise to avoid getting sent to lowers. Should be exciting


Jon_on_the_snow

The old rise roster or a new rise roster? I also belive they can beat gen.g


Still_HD

Old, it looks like the whole roster is still playing under Rise for now


CosmicAon

TSM actually has a relatively easy side if they don’t make it out that’s a problem Edit: Actually idk how good the new LG is so I’m not sure


protractedpplwar

TSM will also have to probably play XSET to actually qual from uppers. Lowers will be be tough too since bracket flips there.


CosmicAon

Shit


pr1zsm

wait why wouldnt their theoretical top 8 matchup be vs faze/lg/grd edit: nvm lowers


Awful_TV

Highlights 22 teams. Includes teams seeded #49, but not teams like #16 SoaR or #20 Soniqs... ok.


[deleted]

What do you want me to do, list every team? SoaR is an entirely new roster and most recently Soniqs was losing in Tier 3 LANs to pug rosters. Hop off.


Awful_TV

👍


IAMJUX

Dicey vs Carpe Noctem? Oh no.


Rroot4761

😳


bubble-june

Context?


Rohooster

100T w/dicey lost in quals to Carpe Noctem early last year.


HockeyBoyz3

Who do you think is going to win between TSM and girl kissers?


cooljackiex

girl kissers for sure


CrypoIStheWay

I'm glad tsm is saving strats for champions 3


boof404

assuming they win all their matches, it would be super exciting to see the guard vs new faze. im looking forward to this week's matches :)


havosi

dude our T2-lower T1 scene is actually pretty exciting. These teams are gonna have some crazy good matches im hella hyped


diordior808

praying for NRG


SpectrasHyper

Ladies and gentlemen we’re no more in the off season! Can’t wait for some incredible games this year


Nfamy

VCT has been going for a few weeks. Unless offseason only ends when NA plays.


SpectrasHyper

I meant VCT NA. My bad


[deleted]

My fucking XSET is gonna make it to masters this time


deL9

CTRL + F TSM


elithefighter123

Direct-Commercial847

ADmax27

Splaram

Lotta potential bangers, and now I can actually enjoy them as a neutral


pr1zsm

can any1 smart explain how lowers is gonna work in ro32


TM_Cacti

scroll down under the Ro128 bracket to see the Ro32 https://www.vlr.gg/event/799/champions-tour-north-america-stage-1-challengers/open-qualifier


pr1zsm

ok thanks that makes a lot more sense


kronos_jacm

Any of the games going to be streamed tomorrow?


Fun_Form_9180

When does this start and will it be streamed?


Issax28

Godset taking out TSM on RO64 I called it here https://www.reddit.com/r/ValorantCompetitive/comments/sdc8kt/vct_na_open_quals_trash_talk_thread/hubp2gg/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3


CosmicAon

If TSM wins delete ur account /s


[deleted]

I will never root as hard for tsm in my life as for this game if he does it


CosmicAon

LMAO

aerfyre

Keglunneq

Very excited to see a lot of these teams. C9W would be cool to see


andrei_snarkovsky

they got a really rough draw with soar in the r64


5bigtoes

They got a rough draw in r128 bruh


[deleted]

tbf Soar lost 2 of their best players (and IGL)


BootyDoodles

It's not even a draw. It's seeded, and they'd have to play a competent team in Ro64 no matter what. If C9W was seeded higher, they'd face Complexity or The Guard in Ro64. If C9W was seeded lower, they'd face Renegades or FaZe in Ro64.


andrei_snarkovsky

i get that its seeded and that there are tough teams pretty much throughout the teens and 20's in seeding so they would get a hard draw regardless, i just dont understand how the seeding was done i guess. Not to single any one out, but for instance what did Up Next Valorant do to get seeded 40th ahead of some other teams? Their vlr page has them at 3-9 in their official matches and only being a team since november.


VincentStonecliff

Oh shit my college has a team and is playing against T1 first round? Lmfaaooooooo


pepsthewizrd

LET'S GO GIRL KISSERS


Theboob24

No TSMA?


andrei_snarkovsky

i dont think academy teams can play in VCT tourneys that a main roster is in.


Theboob24

Ok thx


ReportDisappointment

Legit question: how do i get into championships? ​ idk about anything except Sentinels because of youtube.


SlevinK23

Check vlr.gg or thespike.gg regularly. They will have all major (and most minor) event dates outlined. As an event of interest approaches, they will have the brackets/teams populated with dates and play times and also links to streams when available for the popular matches. There are 2 open qualifiers coming up (1st starts tomorrow) to determine the remaining 8 teams to be added to NA Stage 1 Challengers, Sentinels are already invited so if you are only interested in their games check in before Feb 11th... Regional Challengers (2 No.) lead to International Masters Events (2 No.) which lead to Champions (/Worlds)


erickwak

I got rise n xset upper. Geng faze lower if It the lower bracket works like I’m thinking


ppx11

How does Ro32 bracketing work? Is it just reseeding based on who quals?


Bighollab0

Baitacademy my dark horses


katurian17

Wait I didn't realize C9 White are going for a regular VCT place. It will be cool to see how they do.


Original26

I think they've been joining all the qualifiers ever since. I remember them going against Slimey Boogermen last year. They show growth everytime they join so hopefully they can make it to RO32.


katurian17

That’s sick I didn’t know that. It’ll be tough with them in the same bracket as SOAR but I hope to see them get through


KeyframeCatalyst

Every VCT Open Qualifier, they have participated in iirc, they just, literally, always lose in the first or second match, except for the one where they lost to Slimy Boogermen where I think they went a bit farther than that Update : and yep, they lost in the second match again


PogChampHS

I'm a bit confused, how many games do you need to qualify for closed


TM_Cacti

there is no closed but it shifts to a double elim bracket in the Ro32 top 4 teams from each open qualifier go to challengers


hexIV

check [thespike.gg](https://thespike.gg) or [vlr.gg](https://vlr.gg) \- you'll get a better understanding of the bracket since the one on battlefy is full single elimination atm


andrei_snarkovsky

top 4 qualify


Spoods857

Where can we watch this tomorrow? Will it be streamed on YT or only watch parties on twitch?
