The Valorant Champions 2025 Playoffs bracket has been decided as the final teams escaped the Group Stage.

It’s good news for Americas fans as both G2 Esports and Made in Brazil (MIBR) have qualified for the VCT Champions Playoffs in Paris.

Meanwhile, the most recent results mean T1 and Rex Regum Qeon have seen their season come to an end.

And we’re guaranteed to crown a new champion after the elimination of last year’s winners, EDward Gaming.

The final day of the Group Stages saw a rematch of the Valorant Masters Bangkok final from earlier in the year between G2 and T1.

Back in March, it was VCT Pacific’s T1 who came out on top in a dramatic five-game series.

But on this occasion, G2 were able to enact their revenge in a straight 2-0 sweep versus T1.

It’s the second 2-0 sweep G2 have won after defeating Dragon Ranger Gamer in an elimination match.

Those two results was enough for G2 to escape in second place from Group D behind EMEA’s Team Heretics.

Meanwhile, MIBR also won a 2-0 sweep against another VCT Pacific team in RRQ.

Both maps finished 13-5 as MIBR continued building momentum from their elimination match win over Bilibili Gaming.

But again, it was an EMEA team that finished top of the group as Fnatic got off to a flawless start.

However, it isn’t all good news for EMEA fans as Stage 2 champions, Team Liquid, were eliminated by DRX.

And in the meantime, European fans are waiting to hear who will replace Movistar KOI in VCT EMEA.

Valorant Champions Paris 2025 Playoffs Bracket

The Valorant Champions Paris Playoffs Draw has offered an incredible bracket for esports fans.

Remarkably, there isn’t a single match-up in the opening round which features two teams from a single region.

One side of the bracket is looking ridiculously stacked with Fnatic, DRX, Paper Rex, and G2.

Only one of those elite four teams will make it into the Upper Bracket final.

After beating the first Valorant Masters champion of the year, G2 now need to beat Valorant Masters Toronto champions Paper Rex.

Whoever advances through that side of the bracket will shoot up to tournament favourites on Valorant betting sites.

Meanwhile, the other side of the bracket will see a fascinating battle between North America and Europe.

VCT Americas second seeds NRG will take on VCT EMEA second seeds GIANTX in what should be a fun entertaining match.

And in the other game, MIBR will take on Team Heretics in what could be a pretty heated battle.

In a content piece, Heretics players called Erick ‘Aspas’ Santo the most overrated player.
