VALORANT Champions Tour 2024: Pacific Stage 1 Championship Points.
From the 2024 season, VALORANT introduced a new points system known as Championship Points. These points are allocated to teams based on their performance during the VCT League stage and each international event. The winners of each VCT Kickoff tournament and VALORANT Masters Madrid received 3 Championship Points each. The winner of the VCT Pacific Kickoff was Gen G. They had made an incredible run to the grand finals of VALORANT Masters Madrid but came second and thus didn't get any additional points.
During the VALORANT Champions Tour 2024, Pacific Stage 1 teams that finish at the top of their respective groups will receive 1 Championship Point. The team that wins VALORANT Champions Tour 2024: Pacific Stage 1 will receive 3 Championship Points. These points will be crucial to deciding the fourth team from each league that will be a part of this year's VALORANT Champions 2024.
