VCT Masters Madrid is on the horizon. The first VALORANT Masters event of 2024 will feature 8 teams competing for the first international title. Set to run from the 14th of March to the 24th, the gauntlet will see attendance from 2 representatives from each region.

The Path To Madrid

To make it to the first VALORANT Masters, is no small feat. To put it into perspective: each regional league boasts 11 teams in 2024. All 11 teams compete in the three stage Kickoff.

Split into two groups of 4 and a 3, the top contender from each group, made it to Playoffs. The second seed from each, receives a second lease on life in the tournaments at Play-Ins. There, one of the three makes it through to join the three in Playoffs, for a total of 4 per region that make it from groups.

Finally, in Playoffs, teams will play in a single-elimination bracket to determine the two teams to qualify to Madrid.

The winner of Kickoff will earn an additional 3 Championship points for their victory, to be tallied up before Champions.
