What is VCC in VAMPIR and how does it work?
The Global 2 region has no schedule yet, and the Western global version isn't out.
VCC decides the strongest clan in a region. Matches use the map and rules of the Territorial War final. The Taiwan-Hong Kong-Macao region and the Global region play on the same schedule but as separate tournaments, each crowning its own champion.
- 64 clans get in per region: of the clans that apply, the ones whose 20 strongest members have the highest combined combat power.
- Combat power is locked at sign-up close (October 4 23:59 KST) and isn't recalculated during the tournament. If fewer than 64 clans apply, they all get in and the empty slots become byes.
- The clans are split into 8 groups of 8, and each group plays a single-elimination bracket.
- The 8 group winners move on to the champion tournament, also single elimination.
How do you sign up for VCC?
- Who: the clan master of a clan in the Taiwan-Hong Kong-Macao or Global region, clan level 5+ with 20+ members. Netmarble's rules set the minimum age at 19.
- Where: Menu > Clan Championship on the main screen.
- When: September 28, 2026 10:30 to October 4 23:59 KST, which is September 28 01:30 to October 4 14:59 UTC.
- How many times: one application per clan. Once it's sent you can't cancel or change it.
- Every clan member gets a mail once the application goes through, and it stays valid even if the clan master changes later.
- From sign-up to the end of the season the clan can't be disbanded, and leaving or kicking members is locked during matches.
How is the VCC roster set?
The roster is whoever is in the clan when sign-ups close on October 4 at 23:59 KST, up to 50 members. It's locked for the whole season: no additions or swaps, and anyone who joins later can't play. Up to 50 players per clan go into each match. You can check the roster on the Clan Championship screen after October 6 at 20:00 KST.
Which clans made VCC S1, and where is the bracket?
Netmarble posted the 64 qualified clans for the Global region on October 6 at 20:00 KST, picked by combat power as described above. The list is in random order and doesn't show the draw; the bracket is in game under Menu > VCC Clan Championship > Bracket. 48 of the 64 clans have Chinese names, 13 Korean and 3 Latin-letter names.
- A clan that doesn't show up on match day, or is caught using illegal programs, loses by forfeit and can be barred from future tournaments.
- From confirmation until the tournament ends, clan management can be locked: trying to disband the clan, and leaving or kicking members while a match is running.
VCC match rules: scoring, time limit and respawns
Every match is a single game with a 30-minute limit. The first clan to 10,000 points wins; if time runs out, the higher score wins. Ties go to total kills, then to clan combat power. If neither clan shows up, the match still ends 0-0 and the same tiebreak applies.
| Objective | Points |
|---|---|
| Holding a Blood Altar | 10 every 5 seconds |
| Holding the Great Blood Altar | 20 every 5 seconds |
| Killing the Forgotten Lord (clan with the last hit) | 500 |
| Killing the Abomination (clan with the last hit) | 1,500 |
- Entry opens 10 minutes before the match via Menu > VCC, and only from a town, not from a dungeon or the open field.
- No EXP loss on death. You respawn with 50% HP/MP; the timer starts at 11 seconds and grows by 2 seconds per death, up to 21.
- Teleport scrolls are blocked; mounts, parties and raids are allowed.
- Clans are split into red and blue (the upper slot on the bracket is red) and respawn at their own camp.
- Everyone in the battlefield gets a PvP balance buff.

What are the VCC rewards?
Netmarble puts the total prize pool at 15 million diamonds, with the same reward list in both regions. Rewards go out automatically after every round, win or lose: clan rewards to the clan vault, personal rewards by mail to every roster member who entered that round's battlefield at least once. Mail waits 7 days and the items are bound to the character.
| Round | Winner | Loser |
|---|---|---|
| Group final | 60,000 | 30,000 |
| Champion tournament quarterfinal | 150,000 | 120,000 |
| Semifinal | 200,000 | 150,000 |
| Third-place match | 600,000 + 8 Prophet's Heroic Weapon Boxes | 300,000 + 5 boxes |
| Final | 3,000,000 + 15 Prophet's Heroic Weapon Boxes | 1,200,000 + 12 boxes |
- Every round, win or lose: Special Blood Form and Special Mount 11-summon tickets (2–7 depending on the round), clan coins and eternal coins.
- The group stage adds gold bars and Trinity (700–2,500); the champion tournament quarterfinal and semifinal each add a T3 Heroic equipment selection box.
- Members of the winning clan in the final get a special mount appearance plus Legendary Blood Form and Legendary Mount summon tickets; the runners-up get the Legendary summon tickets too.
- The top three get restoration items for gold, silver and bronze trophy portraits. Use them within 30 days; portrait restoration stays open until the November 25 update.
Meanwhile there's a pre-event running in the Global region with a reward for each day you log in: 300 Trinity on days 7 and 14, and 100,000 gold on every other day. It ends on October 7 at 04:59 KST, so if you start now you can't fill all 14 days. It can be claimed once per server and is bound to the character you're on.
How did the first VCC end in Korea?
Korea's first season had 128 clans and a 10 million diamond prize pool, and the winners of its 16 groups made the champion tournament. The final was on September 19, 2026, and the clan Sasin from the Oscar 2 server won (names romanized from Korean).
Can you join VCC from the US or Europe?
Not yet. This VCC season is for regions in VAMPIR's current Asian service. The global version that would cover the US and Europe has no release date yet; see the release date guide for the latest.
