Another week of the Valorant Champions Tour (VCT) 2022 EMEA Stage 1 Challengers ended yesterday with some highlighting changes in the group's standings.
It was supposed to be the final match week of the group stage. However, a few games remain in both groups due to the unavailability of sides given the ongoing Russia-Ukraine crisis.
However, the current group standings provide a small indication of the final six teams who will compete in the Playoffs.
