VALORANT Season Info
The calibration tournament is done, now it's time for the real deal. Here's all the info you need for the VALORANT season start.
Regular Season Format
With 11 teams registered for the beta season, we've made a format adjustment. Running two divisions (8 vs. 3 teams) doesn't make sense competitively, so we're scrapping the division split and running everyone together in a single Swiss-format regular season.
The calibration tournament results still matter — your finishing position there determines your seeding going into the Swiss stage.
Regular Season
All 11 teams play across 7 gamedays in a Swiss system. Each round, you're matched against a team with a similar record — meaning every game matters from week one.
Default match days are every Sunday at 19:00.
Playoffs
The top 4 teams after the regular season advance to playoffs. Format: double elimination, all series Best of 3. Two losses and you're out — but you get a second chance before that happens.
The playoffs will be held at the two weekends 16.05/17.05 and 23.05/24.05.
Grand Finals
The last two standing meet offline on June 7th. We're finalizing the location and will announce it soon.
Communication
All scheduling and communication runs through Discord. For each matchday, we'll open a dedicated channel. Reschedule requests, roster changes, stand-in confirmations — everything goes there. Messages outside that channel won't be tracked and thus are not eligible as evidence in case of a dispute.
Rescheduling
Fixed game days run Friday to Monday, this means you're free to reschedule during this time. If you can't make it work within that window, each team has 2 reschedules per season that can go outside those days. Inform an admin via your dedicated channel as soon as you know. Your opponent has to accept the proposed date, otherwise you'll have to play at the default match date.
Roster changes
Each team gets 2 roster changes per season. All changes go through the ticket system in Discord — swaps won't be official until confirmed by an admin.
New agents
New agents are locked for 2 weeks from release, new maps for 4 weeks. Admin announcements in Discord are the source of truth on this.
Everything else should be reflected in our rulebook which we do recommend keeping an eye on: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TjKVxUYdRKZcn4MuzXyJm_WPavAnYPRZ1qNH1PmGIRU/edit?usp=drive_link
Registration
Please create your teams on our website now, for that head over to the teams section, create your team and invite your team-members. Also make sure to create a Challengermode account and connect it within your user settings.
We'll be using Challengermode instead of Project DACH for the rest of the season.
We'll set up the tournaments now and give you further instructions via discord.
Good luck and have fun to everyone!
