When does Valorant competitive queue end for Episode 7 Act 2?

Valorant Episode 7 Act 2 began on August 29, 2023. This phase of the game saw the introduction of a new map called Sunset, and the return of a revamped version of Breeze to the competitive map pool. As usual, nearly two months have elapsed since then, and the Act is coming to an end soon. This means you will only be able to queue for ranked games for a limited amount of time before your rank is reset.

Thankfully, you will receive only a soft reset since it is a new Act. This means that you will be placed very close to the rank you end Valorant Episode 7 Act 2 with. This article will tell you when the current ranked season will end in each of the major regions of the world.
