VCT Masters Tokyo will be one of the biggest Valorant tournaments of the year.
With the introduction of the international leagues at the start of the VCT 2023 season, Riot Games will only host one Masters event this year, so the stakes are even higher for the 12 teams that qualified for the tournament.
The teams that excel at Masters Tokyo will gain a significant advantage over their peers, propelling closer to securing a spot at Valorant Champions 2023.
The major regions – Pacific, Americas, and EMEA – fly out three representatives to Japan. In addition, since Fnatic won VCT LOCK//IN, they earned their region one additional slot for the event.
The 12 teams participating in the event will be joined by the two highest-ranking teams from China, who earned their qualification through the FGC Valorant Invitational’s Act 1.
Here’s everything you need to know about Masters Tokyo, including its schedule, results, standings, format, teams, and where to watch the tournament.
