VCT Ascension 2023 Americas Format, Results, and Schedule
Opposite of EMEA, Ascension Americas will have a full Offline experience for the players, featuring both a Group Stage and Playoff being played out in the Riot Games Brazil Studio & Pavilhão Pacaembu venues in São Paulo.
The Format will be the same as EMEA, the Group Stage started on the 30th of June and ended about a week ago on the 2nd of July. Playoffs are still ongoing and only have a few days left until they are finished.
The difference in the Group Stage is the number of participating teams, as in Americas we will have only 6 teams split into two groups, where the Winner of each group will advance to the Upper Bracket Semifinals, and the others will drop to Upper Bracket Quarterfinals.
