Play-Ins Round 1:

Do or die, intergroup #3 seeds vs #4 seeds.

KGKR vs TS

RRQ vs AK

CTW vs NTHNG

Play-Ins Round 2:

Winners from round 1 will qualify to round 2, where they will duke it out in a round-robin for the final two spots in Playoffs.

Playoffs

For playoffs we're taking inspiration from the VCT, allowing for the #1 seeds to pick their opening match. However, instead of a random draw we will be determining pick order by the strength of each group.

  • The #2 seed from the strongest group is immune to being picked by the #1 seeds
  • Group strength is determined by results in Play-Ins Round 2

From there on out it's a familiar 8 team double elimination bracket to determine the VCC EMEA Summer 2026 Champion.

NOTE: Play-Ins will retain Breeze in the map pool, with Abyss being brought in for Playoffs.

May the best team win.
