The competitive season of VCT 2023 has officially concluded, but Valorant developers are already actively preparing for the next year. Today, information about the first major regional tournaments and the inaugural Masters event has emerged online.
To remind you, the first major tournament of the Masters series in 2024 will take place in the capital of Spain – Madrid. This was announced over four months ago by Riot Games in an official video. Today, the organizers have also shared information about the start dates and formats of the qualifiers in each of the four regions.

VCT 2024: Masters Madrid will take place from March 8th to 24th in a LAN format at the Madrid Arena. According to Riot Games, the tournament’s group stage will be conducted in a Swiss format, which is quite interesting considering that last year’s tournaments didn’t utilize the "Swiss system." Eight teams will participate in the Madrid tournament, qualifying from regional qualifiers in their respective regions. The top two teams from each region will secure coveted spots at the event, and the qualifiers will begin in February.
