Valorant Champion Tour Stage 1: Challengers and Masters schedule revealed

After the massive success of Valorant First Strike, fans are eagerly waiting for the Valorant Champion tour.

The Valorant Champion Tour is a year-long tournament to crown the top Valorant team in the world. It was revealed in November 2020, with further details revealed in a live stream on Twitch in January 2021.

Teams across the world will battle in three stages: Challengers, Masters, and Champions. There will be three Challengers and three Masters, concluding with the Valorant Champions, to crown the top Valorant team.

Valorant Champion Tour format

The Valorant Champion Tour is broadly divided into three levels. Challengers will have open qualifiers, followed by Masters, which will lead a team directly to the Valorant Championship Tournament, scheduled for December 2021.

Each stage will consist of three Challengers, concluding in a Masters. The Challengers and the Masters are region-specific, whereas the Valorant Champions is a worldwide event.
