The Valorant Masters (also called VCT Masters or simply Masters) is an annual Valorant international tournament organized by Riot Games in the middle of years since 2021.[1][2] Similar to the Mid-Season Invitational from League of Legends, Riot Games host the Valorant Masters as a part of Valorant Champions Tour (VCT) and it is the second most important international Valorant tournament aside from the Valorant Champions - the world championship in a year.[3] Teams must finish at top places of their regional league in this stage to qualify for this Masters, and performance in Masters events will earn teams more circuit points than their regional league for advance directly to Champions events or at least qualify for the Last Chance Qualifier.[4][5]
