With a third and final Valorant Champions spot up for grabs in the region, the 2022 Valorant Champions Tour (VCT) North America Last Chance Qualifier (LCQ) is set to kick off next week.

Here's a breakdown of how to watch the 2022 VCT NA LCQ.

2022 VCT NA LCQ: How to Watch

As promised back in December with Riot Games' 2022 VCT format announcement, the NA LCQ is set to be the final domestic event having to do with qualification for Valorant Champions, the circuit's end-of-year final in September featuring an expanded pool of 16 international teams competing for the ultimate crown in Istanbul.

By virtue of VCT NA circuit point standings, exactly one spot is still left for a team to join OpTic Gaming and XSET in representing the region at Valorant Champions.

The eight teams with the most VCT Circuit Points that have not yet qualified for VALORANT Champions will begin facing off online in a double-elimination bracket on Aug. 4, with a final showdown at the Grand Finals on Aug. 14.
