The VALORANT Esports competitive season is heating up in EMEA, with two marquee LAN events taking place later this year. First up, Ascension EMEA returns to the Riot Games Arena in Berlin this October, featuring a revamped format and full LAN play. With a coveted VCT EMEA slot on the line, the competition will be fiercer than ever.
The tournament will feature a double-elimination bracket played in best-of-three series, with best-of-five showdowns in the Lower Bracket Final and Grand Final to crown our Ascension champions. One slot is awarded to the winner of Challengers EMEA Stage 3, while three slots will be offered to the top Tier 2 teams on Ascension Circuit Points (academy teams excluded). The last two spots at Ascension EMEA will be decided based on VCT EMEA Stage 2 outcomes.
This year’s Ascension features an action-packed schedule, with six days of tense competition between our six teams. The full schedule is as follows:
* October 19-26: VCT Ascension EMEA 2025
Game Changers EMEA Stage 3 Finals Head to Istanbul
Last year, we took Game Changers on the road for the first time, bringing the EMEA Stage 3 Grand Finals to stanbul, Trkiye. The community showed up in full force, delivering an unforgettable atmosphere that matched the moment. So this year, we’re doing it again.
The stakes are high, with the Stage 3 winner, along with the two teams with the most Game Changers Circuit Points, qualifying as EMEAs representatives at the VALORANT Game Changers Championship. The road to the Grand Final begins with the Game Changers EMEA Stage 3 Group Stage and Playoffs, running from September 30 to October 25.
Make sure you secure your place in person by keeping an eye on our social channels listed below, where we’ll be revealing how to secure tickets in the coming weeks.

Jun 28 First 2 Days of VCL N/E Qualifiers Done (forgot to post yesterday)
Even though we got fucked by the format, being randomly selected to requalify for the event we already qualified for 2 extra times, the lower bracket run is almost complete.
We actually have the most wins out
