The highly-anticipated Valorant Champions Tour (VCT) Stage 2 Masters is set to start in the next few weeks, and fans are eagerly waiting to witness the event. The top 12 teams from different regions around the globe will be competing in the event to be the best team in the world.
However, teams need to perform exceptionally well in their regional challengers to secure a slot in the upcoming Masters event. All the qualified teams will fly to Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, to participate in the international LAN event. This will be the last international LAN event before the Valorant Champions 2022 that will take place at the end of the year in Istanbul, one of the most decorated cities in Turkey.
The upcoming Copenhagen Masters will be the first international Valorant LAN event in history with a live audience. Fans can enjoy the game at the arena and cheer for their favorite team. Riot stated:
"Our goal is to see our biggest international events played in front of a live audience and both of these cities provided clear pathways towards this goal, while also providing the best possible guarantee that all qualified teams will be able to safely attend and compete."
Fans can buy tickets for the Copenhagen Masters from Tixr app. The booking window will open on July 1, 2022 at 10.00 am CEST.
