Don't miss the start of VCT 2024: Masters Madrid!

The largest and most exciting VALORANT tournament starts on March 14th. We will tell you more about the tournament format and the teams participating.

The top VALORANT players will gather at Masters Madrid from March 14th to March 24th! In the first international tournament of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2024, 8 teams representing 4 international leagues will participate. Teams earned their spot in Masters by finishing 1st and 2nd in the respective playoff tournaments.

Masters will consist of two parts: the playoff bracket and a new Swiss stage.

• First, the Swiss stage will take place, narrowing down the 8 teams to the top 4. To proceed further, a team must earn 2 wins before losing twice. All matches will be best-of-three series. Before the tournament, teams will be randomly grouped into 4 pairs. In the first round, playoff winners will face off against the teams that finished 2nd. Opponents must be from different regions! Winners of the 1st round will advance, while losers will compete in elimination matches. In each subsequent round, opponents will be determined by draw. Starting from this point, matches between teams from the same region are allowed.
• After 3 rounds of the Swiss stage, we'll have 4 playoff participants. Opponents will be drawn and compete in a single elimination bracket after two losses. The tournament will conclude with best-of-three series in the lower bracket and the grand finals. The team winning the playoffs will become the champion of Masters Madrid.

Make notes in your calendar, don't forget about the broadcasts, and watch the grand final on March 24th to learn exclusive details about the new VALORANT agent and see it in action for the first time in a show match.
