The VCT 2024 Americas Kickoff event runs from Feb. 16 to March 3, 2024 at the Riot Games Arena in Los Angeles, Calif.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Group Stage runs from Feb. 16 to Feb. 25 and features three groups with a double-elimination GSL-style format. The top team from each group advances to the Playoffs stage, while the second place in each group advances to the Play-In. All matches are best-of-three (BO3). Since there are 11 teams, Group C is smaller, with only three teams. Evil Geniuses<\/a> (the highest-placed team in Champions 2023) gets a bye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Feb. 26, we’ll see the Play-In stage with a Single Round-Robin group format, where all matches are BO3. The top team advances to the Playoffs. In the Playoffs stage of the VCT 2024 Americas Kickoff (March 2 to March 3), the format is single-elimination, with BO3 semifinal matches and a BO5 Grand Final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
