VCT EMEA 2024 Stage 2: Format, teams, venue, and prize pool
Format
VCT EMEA 2024 Stage 2 features a format quite similar to the Stage 1 with a few changes in the mix. Teams will now play matches against other teams in their groups rather than cross-play matches. All matches will be best-of-threes and each win grants a championship point. After the conclusion of the Group Stage, the top six teams in the overall standings will qualify for the Playoffs Stage.
The Playoffs Stage initially features two matches in the Knockout Round where the losing team is eliminated. After these two matches, the Playoffs Stage becomes a double elimination bracket. All matches will be best-of-threes except the Lower Bracket Final and Grand Finals which will be best-of-fives instead. The top three teams in the Playoffs Stage secure a spot at Valorant Champions 2024.

11 teams will be participating in VCT EMEA Stage 2. These include:
- Fnatic
- Gentle Mates
