Gamers Club Challengers Brazil 2026 Stage 2 was an online VALORANT league run by Riot Games and Gamers Club. Fourteen teams played a two-group regular phase from May 5 to June 18; the groups each used a single round robin of best-of-three series. The top two in each group went straight to the playoffs, while six teams played a double-elimination play-in from June 22–28 for the last two playoff slots.[1][2][3]
The six-team double-elimination playoffs began July 1. Matches were best of three except for the lower-bracket final and grand final. On July 12, La Masia VALORANT beat 2Game Esports VALORANT 3–2 to win the stage and secure a place in VCT Americas Stage 2. Riot’s published placement awards for this stage sum to BRL 405,000; the BRL 810,000 figure in its guide applies across both 2026 stages.[1][2]
The field also included RED Canids VALORANT, INTZ VALORANT, ELEVATE VALORANT, Team EGO VALORANT, Team Liquid Brazil VALORANT, FURIA Academy VALORANT, MIBR Academy VALORANT, TBK Esports VALORANT, Team Solid VALORANT, F4TALITY VALORANT, TRIBE VALORANT, and PEEK VALORANT. VLR’s event overview lists July 13 as the competition end date, while its match record places the grand final on July 12; this profile uses the final match date. The Riot guide also contains a schedule subsection labeled Stage 1 under its Stage 2 article heading, so the completed Stage 2 match dates and participants are cross-checked against the VLR results.[1][2]
