The preliminary group phase of the 2025 Valorant Champions tournament tournament reached its conclusion last evening, finalizing which eight squads will advance into the next competitive phase. The latest results have brought clarity to the teams moving forward and revealed the structure of the upcoming playoff bracket.

After a series of decisive matches, the tournament now features the six teams previously in the spotlight along with two additional competitors. Both MiBR and G2 Esports earned their playoff berths by overcoming Rex Regum Qeon and T1 in the crucial decider rounds.

The playoff arrangement has been determined through a seeding process that outlines the following match-ups:

• The tournament is structured so that a competitor must lose twice before being eliminated, giving each team an extra opportunity if they suffer a loss.
• A second defeat will result in a team’s exit from the championship runs.
• The opening fixtures are scheduled for Thursday, September 25, while the concluding match is set for October 5.

This configuration promises an engaging contest as teams battle to secure their place in Valorant history.
