VCT 2023 China: Ascension pits top Chinese Valorant teams in a decisive battle for the coveted VCT 2024 spot.
Eight teams will compete in a double-elimination format in the VCT 2023 China: Ascension in Shanghai, China.
The tournament winner will join the ten partnered teams and compete in the VCT 2024 league.
After announcing the ten partnered Chinese teams for VCT China this year, Riot left an eleventh spot vacant for the future. Now, eight teams will be participating in VCT 2023 China: Ascension for the final spot in the international league, starting from 23 December 2023.
Since the official launch of Valorant took place in August 2023, Riot wasn't able to establish a structure around the Chinese region until now. While there wasn't a proper roadmap for China as a region to enter the international tournament, Riot invited Chinese teams to the Masters and Champions events based on their local performance. With the official addition of China as the fourth region in the Valorant Champions Tour, the 2024 season will be a lot more competitive.
