Will Fnatic be in VCT Seoul 2024?

The reigning VCT 2024 EMEA championship titleholders Fnatic have secured their position in Valorant Champions 2024 within Group A’s competitive bracket. They will confront formidable opponents including DRX, KRÜ Esports, and BiliBili Gaming. Given Fnatic’s impressive fourth-place achievement during the previous Champions tournament, competitive expectations for their performance have escalated significantly.

Group B assembles the VCT 2024 Pacific regional champions Gen.G Esports alongside FunPlus Phoenix, Heretics, and Sentinels. These organizations share extensive competitive history, with FunPlus Phoenix and Heretics particularly anticipating a strategic rematch following their previous encounter in Shanghai where Heretics emerged victorious.

Group C incorporates Leviatán, who captured the Valorant Champions Tournament championship in the Americas territory this season, accompanied by Vitality, Trace Esports, and Talon Esports. The concluding bracket, Group D, consists of EDward Gaming, G2 Esports, Paper Rex, and FUT Esports.

Every participating squad has generated substantial anticipation throughout the professional esports ecosystem, and they will now engage in direct competition for progressively limited advancement opportunities as the championship progresses through elimination phases.

Fnatic enters the tournament carrying the weight of EMEA regional expectations, having demonstrated consistent elite performance throughout the competitive season. Their strategic approach often emphasizes methodical map control and calculated aggression, making them particularly dangerous in best-of series formats.

The Group B confrontation between FunPlus Phoenix and Heretics represents one of the most anticipated storylines, with Heretics having previously defeated FPX during the Shanghai Masters event. This rematch could determine early group stage dominance and psychological advantage moving forward.

Leviatán’s Americas championship victory establishes them as formidable contenders, though they face stiff competition from European powerhouse Vitality and rising Asian organizations.
