As the anticipation for the first international VALORANT Champions Tour event of the year, Masters Madrid in March, builds up, fans worldwide are gearing up for an exhilarating showdown. It's been over six months since the last major event of the hero shooter, making this upcoming event all the more awaited.

After an intense series of regional Kickoff tournaments across all four VCT 2024 leagues, the lineup for Masters Madrid is now set. Each league has contributed two teams, totaling eight teams vying for glory at the event. The competition will kick off with a Swiss-style stage, where teams must secure two victories before facing two defeats, leading into a double-elimination bracket. This year's VCT structure and points system have seen subtle adjustments, including the introduction of the Swiss format.
