The Masters Berlin starts on Friday – here’s everything you need to know about it.
Masters Berlin is the next big tournament on the VALORANT Champions Tour before the Champions at the end of the year. After Masters Reykjavik, Berlin is only the second international competition this year. The stakes are high in Berlin, as more teams than ever are fighting for the circuit points they need to make it into the Champions.
The tournament will feature a total of 15 teams from around the world. As the Philippine team BREN failed to secure a visa in time, they will not participate. Four teams from EMEA, three from NA, two from South Korea, two Japanese teams, three from LATAM and one SEA team will compete. Only three of the teams are competing in an international VCT event for the second time: Sentinels, KRÜ and Crazy Raccoons already played each other at the Masters in Reykjavik.
