Championship points

I don't quite understand the system, will there be no LCQ this year because of champs points?

Yes, no LCQ.
4 teams go to Seoul - 3 from Split 2 playoffs top-3 and 1 with the most champs points.

yep. top 3 teams from the playoffs will go to champs and the 4th seed will be chosen through the championship points. So number 1 in championship points means you are guaranteed a champs spot even if you dont get through to the playoffs

Yes, there won't be LCQ this year but it has nothing to do with championship points. We've had championship points since the begging of valorant

You could bro, exact same function. It was a bit different this last year just cause Lock in didn't give points so it was all about Masters Tokyo but it's always been through points

Here's a random example of 2022
