The tournament is an invite-only 10-team LAN event where the winner will walk away with a ticket directly to Valorant Champions 2021. To be invited, teams need to have earned enough circuit points in the VCT tournament season.
Due to COVID-19 regulations, travel documentation issues, and other complex factors,Riot Gamescould not ensure teams from the Oceania region could travel, compete in the event, and return home in a reasonable time frame. As a result, ORDER and Chiefs will not be attending the Last Chance Qualifier.
The top eight North American teams who haven’t qualified for Valorant Champions 2021, will be the participants of the Last Chance Qualifier.
