VCT STAGE 2 MASTERS: EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
After two months of regional Challengers events, we are just a week away from Masters Reykjavik, the first international LAN tournament for VALORANT. More than 2000 teams from seven different regions attempted to qualify for the event, but just 10 will compete in Iceland.
To create the 10 team bracket, the top seeded teams from the two regions with the largest player base, North America and Europe, were seeded into the second round. The remaining teams were randomly seeded with the requirement that teams from the same region could not be put on the same side of the bracket in order to avoid matching against each other in the initial rounds.
On the line is more than $600,000 in prizing and points that will count towards qualification for VALORANT Champions, the year end Final that will crown the 2021 Champion.
LOCATION AND VENUE DETAILS:
Location: Reykjavík, Iceland
Venue: Laugardalshöll
Dates: May 24th-30th
Teams will quarantine upon arrival in Iceland. For the health and safety of our players, staff, and local residents, the event will not be able to accommodate a live audience.
