VALORANT Champions 2026: First EMEA Team Eliminated

This market will resolve according to which EMEA team is the first to be eliminated from VALORANT Champions 2026 (also known as VCT Champions 2026), currently scheduled for September 24 to October 18, 2026, in Shanghai, China. For the purposes of this market, the EMEA teams are the four teams that qualified for VALORANT Champions 2026 through the VCT EMEA league as designated by the organizer, Riot Games: Karmine Corp, Team Liquid, FUT Esports, and Team Vitality. A team is considered eliminated at the moment it can no longer win the tournament: when it loses its Group Stage elimination match or decider match, when it loses a lower bracket match or the Grand Final in the Playoffs, or when it officially withdraws, is disqualified, or is replaced. The Group Stage (September 24 to October 4, 2026) consists of four four-team double-elimination (GSL) groups, with the top two teams from each group advancing to the eight-team double-elimination Playoffs (October 7 to October 18, 2026). The first team eliminated is the team whose eliminating match concludes first, according to the official match schedule and results. If two or more EMEA teams are eliminated in matches that conclude at the same time, or by the same official announcement, this market will resolve in favor of the team whose listed team name comes first alphabetically. If VALORANT Champions 2026 is canceled, postponed after November 17, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, or no EMEA team has been eliminated within that timeframe, this market will resolve to "Other". If the first EMEA team eliminated is not listed in this market, this market will resolve to "Other". The resolution source for this market will be official information from the tournament organizer, Riot Games, via the VALORANT Esports website (https://valorantesports.com). However, a consensus of credible reporting (e.g., Liquipedia at https://liquipedia.net/valorant/VCT/2026/Champions) may also be used.
