Team Heretics and FUT Esports have qualified for the Valorant Champions Seoul after Fnatic's 2-1 victory over Karmine Corp. Before then, the VCT Masters Tokyo champions had been the only confirmed team for Seoul in EMEA, as they topped the VCT 2024 EMEA Points standings with 13 points.
Later today, the Valorant Champions Seoul-bounds will have the chance of improving their seeding. While Team Heretics will play against Team Vitality, Fnatic will face off against FUT Esports. The winner of each series will move to the Upper Bracket Final and secure a Top 3 finish at the VCT 2024 EMEA Stage 2. Meanwhile, the defeated sides will fall to the Lower Bracket Semifinal.
With Fnatic, Team Heretics, and FUT Esports having already qualified for Seoul, this means that there's only one more spot in the region up for grabs. On the one hand, if Team Vitality win against Team Heretics or the Lower Bracket Semifinal, the Bees will clinch it. On the other hand, if Team Vitality don't win a second playoff match, Karmine Corp will qualify for Seoul through the VCT 2024 EMEA Points standings as they finished the second split with eight points, one more than Team Vitality.
