C9 vs. 100T - VCT Americas Kickoff - W5D1 - Map 3

2025 was another reminder of why America is the strongest region out there: Global Champs, the best rookies, the MVP, and fans that honestly feel unmatched. For 2026, we’re going bigger: more matches, a new roadshow finals experience for Stage 2, and hosting the first international event of the year with Masters Santiago. As we look ahead to the new season, we say goodbye to some legends but welcome ENVY who will be joining us to show his dominance across Challengers.

The road to Champions Shanghai is long, and it all starts with VCT Americas Kickoff, where we’ll get our first look at 12 of the best teams in the world. Step one: conquer Kickoff and grab one of the three tickets to represent the region at Masters Santiago. So… who you got?

We’re proud to work with our fantastic partners throughout 2026: Pulsar, Red Bull, Samsung, Secretlab, and Verizon.
