VCT 2022 all comes down to Champions, the competitive VALORANT circuit’s end-of-season event.  Featuring 16 of the top teams from around the world, the two-week event, which is expected to take place in September in an undisclosed location, will crown the game’s second world champion. Over the course of the year, teams will be competing in Challengers playoffs and Masters events to earn circuit points based on their performance. At the end of the year, 11 out of the 16 teams at Champions will have earned a spot at the event based on their circuit point ranking in their region.

Players of Pokémon Brilliant Diamond are able to find Murkrow in their game, while those who have Pokémon Shining Pearl can find its counterpart, Misdreavus. If players want to add this Dark and Flying-type Pokémon to their team, they can do so as early as Eterna Forest.
