**The new Path to Champions format in VCT 2026 gives four Challengers teams per International League direct entry into Stage 2 play-ins, a double-elimination bracket where the top four advance to playoffs alongside partnered VCT squads, with the top two playoff finishers earning Champions Shanghai spots.** This structure, replacing the prior Ascension route, has already produced results: Enterprise Esports became the first Tier 2 side to reach EMEA Stage 2 playoffs in mid-August after strong VCL performance. Play-ins and early playoff matches are underway across regions, with similar opportunities in Americas, Pacific, and China. Tier 2 squads benefit from roster momentum, regional depth, and the stipend/travel support that levels preparation. While VCT teams hold experience and consistency advantages in best-of series, the bracket format and recent Challengers results create realistic pathways for at least one underdog to advance, aligning with the 67.5% trader-implied probability on a Yes outcome.

Whether the organization holds league partner status is the sole determinant. Teams that entered their league's Stage 2 through the Play-In path as Challengers or National Competition participants are examples of Tier 2 teams.
Qualifying means being officially confirmed by Riot Games as a participating team of VALORANT Champions 2026, whether through a Stage 2 result, Championship Points, a replacement or substitution, or any other official allocation method. A Tier 2 team that is officially confirmed as a participant and later withdraws or is replaced will still count as having qualified.
If a Tier 2 team is officially confirmed as a participant, this market will resolve to "Yes" immediately. Confirmations of replacement participants will count through the scheduled end of the event.
If no Tier 2 team has been officially confirmed as a participant by October 18, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, including if VALORANT Champions 2026 is cancelled or its field is never confirmed within that timeframe, this market will resolve to "No".
The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from Riot Games and the VALORANT Champions Tour; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
