Qualified Teams for VALORANT Challengers EMEA 2025 Split 3

How to qualify for Challengers EMEA 2025 Split 3

To qualify for Challengers EMEA 2025 Split 3, teams must earn slots through their regional VCL Challengers circuits rather than via circuit points or open invites. Each EMEA sub-region (Spain, France, DACH, Turkey and MENA) qualifies two teams based purely on Split 3 playoff results; the top two finishers automatically advance. The NORTH//EAST region is unique in that it awards four slots, which are earned through a structured progression involving separate North and East regional qualifiers, followed by Lower Swiss, Upper Swiss and an eight-team double-elimination playoff. The top four playoff finishers from the North/East region secure their spots, while all other regions rely exclusively on Stage 2 standings to determine their two representatives.

VCL NORTH//EAST

In the Challengers 2025 Split 3 NORTH//EAST, four teams earned spots in the Challengers EMEA Split 3: DĚTI ULICE, ENTERPRISE ESPORTS, TEAM LIQUID ACADEMY and BOARS GAMING. This was after they navigated the structured format of the Lower and Upper Swiss phases and an eight-team double-elimination playoff. Enterprise Esports won the Upper Final 2–1 against Děti ulice and went on to win the Grand Final and the North/East title. Děti ulice reached the Upper Final, securing second place and qualification. Team Liquid Academy bounced back from an Upper Semifinal defeat to Enterprise Esports with victories against Metizport and Boars Gaming in the lower bracket, thereby qualifying. Boars Gaming reached the Upper Semifinal, but then dropped into the lower bracket. Despite losing to Team Liquid Academy, they secured the final qualifying spot based on their overall tournament performance.
