VALORANT esports fans want ‘performance-based relegation’ to count for all VCT teams

While the new rule changes regarding relegation for professional VALORANT teams announced yesterday were received well by the esports community at large, many want to see Riot go a step further and apply the rules to all teams, not just those who rose from Ascension.

Yesterday, Riot Games instituted new rule changes to VALORANT esports for 2025, providing teams that reach VCT international leagues through Ascension the opportunity to stay up if they perform to a certain level each season. The “promotion window” was reduced from two years to one, but the teams in question may stay in their VCT international league if they qualify for Champions and, at the very least, can guarantee a spot in that year’s Ascension tournament if they finish in the top eight in their league.
