Hello there! 😎 My name is Magnum and I am a VALORANT observer. Currently looking for opportunities! 🔗 My portfolio and full showreels: driesmagnus.github.io ✍️ DMs are open! 🎮 Other forms of contact are on my site! Let's work together! ♥ + ♻ appreciated 😄

In the past, not standardizing tournament formats between the VCT regions has been a way to experiment. However, now that everyone is essentially in the same tier I think it needs to become consistent. Why is the Americas qualifier putting OQ teams into Swiss Groups while EMEA is seeding them directly into the lower bracket of a double elim tournament?

Meet the 32 teams helping shape the future of VALORANT Esports. Learn more about our 2027 partners, how they were selected, and what's changing for next season.

Seems increasingly likely that I'll be starting 2027 teamless. Assuming no miracle offer, I'll be making a stack and taking some scalps in the NA Open Quals If you're an unsigned top 50 player looking for a good chance in the quals, lmk. I'm putting together a group of killers 🫡

RE: VCT CN from my experience. I saw China was having some rough games in Champs with lots of people talking about ‘how could this happen’. I wanted to give my 2 cents from not only watchpartying CN and talking to the players/coaches a lot but also from briefly coaching there over the past few years. To be clear I love the teams still, the players are all absolutely lovely and the Chinese region as a whole is still incredibly close to my heart. I’m just adding my BRIEF observations. One of the most standout to me from the players POV is how much they are convinced that ‘aim beats everything’, if a player had a bad game or scrim, instead of feeling like it’s to do with utility, decision making or general game sense, they’ll go queue aim trainers for an hour straight or do deathmatch and I think a lot of that comes from the GMs too. There’s so much innate talent in China so the overfocus on aim means that players feel convinced to focus on that alone otherwise they’re likely to be replaced, especially when in game stats are constantly used to measure a players value, ‘if you’re not hitting 20 kills a game you’re underperforming’ like yeah no shit you have players going for silly peeks when that’s drilled into their brain. It’s been well over a year since I coached in China so stuff may have changed but especially with initiator utility being nerfed and the game requiring more ‘CS’-esque map clearing, it just feels like the higher ups in China are still just focussing on the wrong things. Again, I love the region and I know they can be a powerhouse in VALORANT when we learn the lessons here.

VCT CN has officially opened “Pro Certification” for the remainder of 2026 going into 2027. Teams that pass the certification process will be able to directly compete in the Valorant China National Tournaments as well as earn “Ascension Tournament Points” based on ranking for the opportunity to join VCT CN 2027 Ascension. Certification is open from now (August 26th 2026) to September 16th 2026. Teams must pass an online review of materials as well as an offline process to certify the team and its members. Those who meet the standards of both checks will be certified. VCT CN has a set of standards that will be used to evaluate whether a team is worthy of certification. These are long-term standards, meaning that if broken at any point, certification can be revoked. It will be exciting to see which new teams will appear in the China circuit following this certification application period!
