VCT Americas LCQ 2023: Format

VCT Americas LCQ 2023 will follow a somewhat irregular format. The first two rounds of the competition will be single elimination, meaning losing one match would knock the team out, effectively ending their VCT run for the season.

From the Upper Semifinals onwards, the double-elimination format will kick in. Teams losing in this stage will get to play one more match in the lower bracket to keep their dreams of reaching Champions 2023 alive. Once a side loses two matches at this stage, they will be kicked out of the running.

All fixtures in the Americas Last Chance Qualifier will feature a best-of-three format, with the exception of the Lower Final and the Grand Final, which will be best-of-five.
