Group stage of the tournament
Traditionally, like most tournaments, VCT 2022: NA will start from the group stage. We have already been presented with two groups of 6 teams each.
Group A:
- 100Thieves
- Cloud9
- XSET
- Luminosity Gaming
- Evil Geniuses

Group B:
- Sentinels
- OpTic Gaming
- NRG
- Knights
- Version1
- Rise
All matches of the group stage will be held in the bo3 format and will last 5 in-game weeks, with 6 meetings each week.
Based on the points earned by the teams during the groups, the top 4 teams from each group will advance to the playoffs. Four losers, two teams per group, will leave the tournament.
Playoffs
The playoffs will be played in much the same way as the group stage. Due to the fact that as many as 8 teams will take part in them, most of the matches will be played in the Bo3 format. Only the grand final and the final of the losers bracket were decided by the organizers to be held in Bo5.
