The Esports World Cup 2026 VALORANT Americas Qualifier is a crucial battleground for North and South American teams aiming for a spot in Riyadh.

Stage 2 will consist of eight teams, including the Stage 1 winner and the teams that finished second through eighth in VCT Americas Stage 1 (concluding on May 25). This stage will also follow a double-elimination format with standard upper and lower brackets.
