Riot Games 公布 2027 与 2028 年 VCT 所有合作战队名单

Riot Games has confirmed the full list of Valorant teams that will be VCT partnered teams for 2027 and 2028.

Some major names have been omitted from the VCT partnership program, including Cloud9, KOI, and VCT Pacific champions Global Esports.

This is a result of Riot reducing the number of each region’s VCT partnered teams from 10 to eight in preparation for the new VCT format.

Here is every partnered team that will compete in VCT Americas, VCT EMEA, VCT Pacific, and VCT China next year.
