Fnatic qualified as the second seed from the EMEA region for the Valorant Champions 2021

Fnatic is one of the top-performing teams from the EMEA region. They finished second in the Valorant Champions Tour Reykjavik after losing to Sentinels in the Grand-Finals.

However, the European side has had it tough in recent times. They failed to qualify for the EMEA Stage 3 Playoffs, and that had put them into uncertain territory regarding their qualification for the Valorant Champions 2021.

The EMEA region has a total of three slots in the Valorant Champions 2021. Two teams will qualify as per the circuit points standing whereas the other one will qualify by winning the EMEA Last Chance Qualifier.

Fnatic had a total of 350 circuit points to their name after the end of Stage 2. After the end of Stage 3, only Gambit Esports and Acend were able to overtake them in the leaderboard.

As Gambit Esports directly qualified for the Valorant Champions 2021 as the winners of the Berlin Masters, Acend and Fnatic have become the other two teams to qualify for the same as per the EMEA Circuit Points standings.
