The Valorant Champions Tour 2022 EMEA Stage-1 Challenger is set to return today after a halt last weekend. Riot postponed Week 3 matches in the shadow of the Russia-Ukraine crisis.
However, after discussions with all the teams and their support staff, the organizers finally decided to host some of the matches this weekend. Three matches will be played over the next two days, while this week's remaining matches will be hosted once the situation improves in Ukraine.
However, ahead of Week 4 of the EMEA Stage-1 Challengers, let's have a look into the current Group Standings.
