We can not yet consider the information as official, but the hypothesis is to be taken very seriously. According to the Valorant account of Weibo (Chinese social network), the organizers of the VCT have chosen the city which will host the next Masters. We are still waiting for an official press release in English and French, but the Chinese account has already given many details… difficult in these conditions to go back!
The tournament should take place from April 10 to 24 and should once again take the direction of Europe ! This was already the case during the last three big events: Champions tournament in Berlin, Masters in Berlin and Reykjavik.
Like deja vu?
12 teams are expected for this first big international event of the year on Valorant. Europe has a standing to enforce (Gambit, Acend) but theNorth America would like to regain its status (Envy, Sentinels). In the other regions, South America had made a strong impression, but we will also have to see what the Asian teams (Koreans, Japanese, etc.) have in store for us.
The tournament would once again take the direction of Reykjavík. The destination lacks a bit of originality and the community would have liked to discover a new place. But we remind you that in this period of pandemic, Iceland has the advantage of offering a health bubble that is easy to set up… During the Champions tournament in Berlin, a player like Nivera had tested positive for the virus and Team Liquid had seen their tournament disrupted. It is not yet known if an audience is planned. But based purely on the choice of Iceland, we imagine that the tournament will be played without an audience.
