On August 21, four teams were confirmed to participate in VALORANT Champions 2025. This became possible after the completion of another playoff round in VCT 2025: China Stage 2.

On August 21, the second round of the lower bracket of the VCT 2025: China Stage 2 playoffs concluded, where EDward Gaming and XLG secured victories, thereby deciding the fate of the tournament’s main prizes even before its end. The teams EDG, XLG, DRG, and Bilibili Gaming had in any case already guaranteed themselves a slot at Champions 2025. The only thing to be decided in the tournament is who qualifies thanks to VCT points and who receives a direct invite, but neither of these conditions will grant the teams any advantage at the World Championship.

Teams at Champions 2025 from China:

EDward Gaming
Bilibili Gaming
XLG
Dragon Ranger Gaming

VALORANT Champions 2025 will take place from September 12 to October 5 in Paris, France. The tournament will feature 16 of the best teams in the world competing for a prize pool of $2,250,000. More details about the event can be found via the link.
