One seat is left at the Game Changers Championship 2026, and three teams will fight for it in São Paulo.
Brazil, Latin America and North America have already booked a world championship place each, through Team Liquid Visa, KRÜ Blaze and Shopify Rebellion Gold. Now the runners-up from each circuit meet in the Game Changers Americas LCQ, held at the Riot Games Arena São Paulo, to settle the fourth spot.
Two days, one ticket
The three teams play each other once in a single group, with best-of-three matches on October 14 starting at 11:00 AM PT. The top two move on to a best-of-five final the next day, October 15, at 1 PM PT. Whoever wins it goes to the Game Changers Championship 2026, which runs in São Paulo from October 22 to November 1.
Day one carries a reward beyond the standings. A team that wins both its group matches gets two bans and pick priority in the final. If all three tie, the best team under the tiebreaker criteria takes pick priority instead. Ties in the group follow the same standard used at global events.
Watching it
Both days are played in front of a live audience. Tickets cost R$ 120 at full price and R$ 60 at half price, the latter under current legislation in the state of São Paulo, with a limit of four per CPF for each day. The Final Stage will be streamed on the official VALORANT Esports NA channels on Twitch and YouTube, with live coverage on X, Instagram and TikTok.
