VCT is getting rebuilt

Riot has publicly sketched a major format shift for VALORANT’s competitive circuit in 2027, moving away from long full‑season leagues toward a Cups‑based model with open qualifiers that create faster routes from grassroots to top‑level events. That means the 2026 season will likely be the last of the old structure — a big change for teams, talent scouts, and anyone tracking how players climb the pro ladder. ( )
