Twelve teams are set to collide at one of the final major stops of the 2022 VALORANT Champions Tour, with the best Stage Two teams from each region meeting at VCT Masters Copenhagen. Another international VALORANT LAN trophy is on the line, but this one feels much more important.
For one, it is the first international VALORANT tournament to host a live crowd, with fans set to cheer on the players during the semifinals and grand final at the Forum Copenhagen. Secondly, teams like Fnatic, FPX, Guild, Leviatán, and KRÜ are looking to lock in VCT Champions 2022 placements and avoid the Last Chance Qualifiers altogether.
Masters Copenhagen will follow the same format as Masters Reykjavík: the top four higher seeds from the “stronger” regions are seeded directly into the playoffs, while the remaining eight teams are split up into two groups. GSL-style group play will produce four teams from the group stage to advance to the playoffs. The playoffs will be a double-elimination bracket, with the lower final and the grand final being a best-of-five.
