The sun is shining bright on North American VALORANT. Eight teams have emerged in an exhausting, upset-riddled open qualifier to reach the main event of NA VCT Stage Three: Challengers One. These teams will run through a double-elimination bracket over four days, with the top four securing a spot in the NA Challengers playoffs in August. A total of $50,000 will also be on the line at Challengers One.

In the open qualifier, upsets dominated the final two of the bracket. Top-seeded teams like TSM, FaZe Clan, Cloud9 Blue, NRG, and Immortals all fell in either the round of 32 or the round of 16. This has resulted in a couple unfamiliar faces in the Challengers pool, Rise and Kansas City Pioneers. Rise, consisting of several former Dignitas players, stunned C9 Blue 2-0 in the final qualifier round with stellar play on Astra from supamen. In the same qualifying round, Kansas City and VIRTUOSO met after they each knocked off Immortals and NRG, respectively, with the Pioneers pushing through just a week after forming.
