With KRÜ Esports securing final spot, here are all qualified teams for VCT 2022 Stage 2 Masters Copenhagen

KRÜ Esports has sealed their spot as the final team to qualify for the VCT 2022 Stage 2 Masters Copenhagen. After a victory over Ninjas in Pyjamas in the South American LCQs, the Latin American side earned a last-minute ticket to join the world's best Valorant teams in Denmark and compete in front of a live audience.

KRÜ is among the few teams that have competed in all VCT Masters events. After a second-place finish in the Stage 2 LATAM Challengers, they were on the edge of missing their chance to compete in the Masters Copenhagen.

However, a victory over Ninjas in Pyjamas in the LCQs ensured them a well-deserved spot in the tournament.

The VCT 2022 Stage 2 Masters is scheduled to kick off its Group Stage on July 10. The Playoffs are set to begin on July 14, with the Grand Finals held at Forum Copenhagen on July 24.
