VCT Masters Madrid 2024: Schedule, livestream details, and more

VCT Masters Madrid 2024 will start within a week as the Valorant esports community is geared up to witness the first international event of the year. Two teams from the regions of Americas, EMEA, Pacific, and China will convene at Madrid to determine the champions of the first Masters event in VCT 2024. This event is guaranteed to be a showcase of exceptional Valorant and the potential for many unknown talents to break into the scene.

The tournament notably sees the core of the former Optic Gaming/NRG lineup, the DRX core, and the FunPlus Phoenix/NaVI core missing. This is a big shocker as these teams have become household names on the international stage. In the absence of these lineups, plenty of new faces should rise up to the top.
