[UPDATED] VALORANT Champions 2025: All Playoffs Teams Confirmed

As the group stage of VALORANT Champions 2025 edges closer to completion in Paris, the first four teams to secure playoffs have already been decided. These squads will now prepare to compete at the Accor Arena, where the ultimate trophy of the year awaits.

VALORANT Champions 2025: All Teams Qualified for Playoffs

Group A: Paper Rex

There was little doubt surrounding Paper Rex’s performance heading into Champions. Touted as one of the clear favorites to lift the trophy, the Pacific champions showed composure and dominance in Group A. They are moving forward with incredible momentum, setting the tone for the playoffs.

Group B: Fnatic

EMEA’s top seed, Fnatic, have once again lived up to expectations, securing their spot after a strong performance in Group B. While MIBR pushed them to their limits, the European champions showcased incredible discipline to secure victory. Their experience alone will make them one of the most feared opponents at the Accor Arena.

Group C: NRG

NRG’s journey so far has been nothing short of spectacular. Coming from a strong VCT Americas campaign, the team has built momentum with decisive upsets over both EDG and DRX in Paris. Their success comes as a refreshing surprise and also establishes them as the top Dark Horse heading into playoffs.

Group D: Team Heretics

Representing EMEA, Team Heretics stormed through Group D in flawless fashion. While they were expected to contend, few predicted just how convincingly they would dispatch both G2 and T1 without losing a single map in the process. Their clinical gameplay and composure make them a serious title threat, and after tasting silverware at EWC, Heretics are hungrier than ever.

Awaiting the Final Four

With Paper Rex, Fnatic, NRG, and Team Heretics already confirmed, four more slots remain up for grabs. The elimination matches will now decide which teams have the resilience and firepower required to join them on the playoff stage.
