Alright, but what actually happened at the Korean Challengers Playoffs? How come NUTURN Gaming didn't get into the Stage 3 major tournament? What do the VCT Standings look like for Korean teams now? Let's check it all out!
Korean Challengers Playoffs: Results
The fact that Vision Strikers managed to reach the finals is no surprise; they've been in great shape all year long. A considerable surprise, however, was a smooth winning streak from probably the biggest underdog of the tournament — F4Q. Another shocking thing is the brutal loss of NUTURN Gaming in the quarterfinals. Not so long ago, they took 3rd place at the Masters 2: Reykjavik, and now they lost 1:3 to DAMWON Gaming, another big underdog of the Korean Challengers Playoffs.
How do these results affect the VCT standings by which teams get to the World Championships? Does NUTURN Gaming, despite their early loss and missing out on the Masters: Berlin, still have a chance to play in the Valorant Champions tournament?

Korean VCT Standings — September 2021
The Korean region only has one slot for the Champions tournament, which goes to the team with the most VCT Points. NUTURN Gaming had nothing to worry about until recently, but if one of the Korean teams makes it to the semi-finals of Masters: Berlin, solo and his team can forget about the Valorant World Championships.
Korean Challengers Playoffs: Finals
On August 15, we will find out who is the best of all Korean Challengers. It has already been a few months since F4Q won against Vision Strikers, thus breaking their impressive 104-0 record. Will history repeat itself?
Vision Strikers need no introduction; they are the winners of Masters: Korea and one of the favorites to qualify for the Valorant Champions tournament from the Korean VCT Standings. On the other hand, not so long ago, the community treated F4Q as a mix of streamers and a relatively harmless team from the Valorant esports scene. However, once again, they managed to confirm that their skills are top-notch and not to be underestimated. Watch the final match of the Korean Challengers Playoffs next Saturday at 10:00 AM CEST here.
