In the absence, for the moment, of having obtained a slot in LEC on League of Legends, Karmine Corp has just been selected for the European VALORANT league. Kameto announced it on his stream at 4 p.m., emotion in his voice. “It’s huge, people are matrixed by the other potential announcement (editor’s note, the arrival in LEC) but that’s huge. We start from nothing and now we are here. You have to realize: it’s really important and it’s a game we believe in, we know it will be crazy in the future, and having that is a success.»
Welcome to the next era of the #VCT
We are proud to introduce the 30 teams who will compete in the VALORANT Champions Tour in 2023.

As has been anticipated for several weeks, the French team has therefore been chosen to represent Europe in the new franchised international league of the game. Riot Games has planned a VCT 2023 with a renewed format, in particular with the presence of this new competition bringing together the 30 best teams in the world, 10 in each zone: EMEA, Americas and Asia.
This announcement was made as the studio officially unveiled the 30 names that will join this new competition in 2023. For Europe, without surprises since the leaks had already announced everything, we will find Fnatic, KOI, NaVi or even Team Vitality. On the side of the American championship, G2 Esports, which was approached, was effectively excluded from the league, without knowing if this has a link with the ongoing controversies.
We are really looking forward to creating the future of our sport through some amazing organizations. Over the coming weeks, teams will expand and revamp their rosters, develop new and exciting content, and prepare for VCT LOCK//IN, to be held in Brazil. This will be the biggest tournament ever held during the VCT, where all these teams will come together to write a new chapter in the history of our sport.
