100T’s Adam “ec1s” Eccles and Martin “Hiko” Spencer decided to place Sentinels in A-tier for their lack of practice and scrim sessions during the offseason.
The group then agreed that Team Envy deserved to be in S-tier for beating 100T in practice. They also teased that Border Monsters, a Latin American Valorant squad, deserved to be in S-tier for an incredible play on Fracture.

TSM was initially placed in D-tier for their struggles in the first VCT NA Stage 1 Challengers Open Qualifiers. Ethan Arnold decided to move TSM to C-tier, explaining that they shouldn’t be ranked at the bottom just because they’d had a bad day.
XSET, Cloud9, and Version1 were placed in A-tier, joining Sentinels as the top-tier teams in North America. T1, NRG, Rise, and Gen.G Esports eventually found their way into B-tier after 100T made further changes to the Valorant team tier list.
Hiko, Ethan, and Peter “Asuna” Mazuryk initially placed themselves in D-tier, until ec1s moved 100 Thieves up to S-tier.
Of the 15 teams that were placed on their tier list, nine made it into the VCT NA Stage 1 Challengers Group Stage where 12 teams will be competing in round-robin best-of-three matches. The top four teams will then advance to the playoffs.
