It’s time to take a dive into the heart of the 2024 Valorant eSports season! As the Valorant esports world witnessed, the best teams in the world battled it out in the VCT Kickoff tournament, held across the four international leagues. Marking the beginning of the year's competitive journey, this tournament holds a lot of weight as the top two teams from each league secured their spot in the first international event of 2024, the VCT Masters Madrid. As anticipation builds within the esports community, let’s take a look at the details surrounding VCT Masters Madrid.

2023 Valorant Champions

The 2023 Valorant eSports season saw its curtains fall over a resounding victory for Evil Geniuses as they lifted the Valorant Champions trophy. This triumphant moment capped off a year filled with intense international tournaments. However, the end of the 2023 circuit also brought us a ton of much-needed changes designed by Riot Games to boost the balance and competitiveness of Valorant eSports. The introduction of VCT China and some adjustments to the international leagues' schedules set the stage for a very different competitive landscape in 2024.

Now, as we march into a new season, each international Valorant esports league is set to kick off with its respective tournament in late February. This new structure is dynamic and guarantees a more competitive start to the year, laying the groundwork for the main event, Masters Madrid.

Masters Madrid introduces a new format for the early stages of the tournament: the Swiss format. This format, derived from Riot's other major esports title, League of Legends, will boost the balance and dynamic of Valorant's professional competitions in 2024.

In the Swiss format, top-seeded teams face No. 2 seeds from different regions initially. Winning teams progress against others with similar records until four teams secure two wins before two losses. Each series is a best-of-three, culminating in the field narrowing down to the final four. The Playoff Stage will witness these four teams engaging in a double-elimination bracket. Matches in this stage are best-of-three, with the lower and Grand Finals adopting a best-of-five series.
