VCT LCQ 2023 will have teams from all regions competing in three different tournaments. The victor from each region’s tournament will go to Valorant Champions later on in the year.
We now have Champions from each league of the Valorant Champions Tour 2023. Team Liquid beat Fnatic to win the EMEA League, Paper Rex (PRX) reverse-swept DRX in the Pacific Region and beat them 3-2 and LOUD dominated NRG to win 3-0. These teams will get the top seed for Masters Tokyo.
However, we also have the LCQ to look forward to after Masters Tokyo. It will feature the seven teams from each region who have failed to make Masters. Let’s take a look at what we need to know about the regions and their teams.
