The first international VALORANT Champions Tour event of the year is quickly approaching, with Masters Madrid in March promising to be a treat for fans who have been waiting more than six months since the hero shooter’s last major event.
All four VCT 2024 leagues have played their own regional Kickoff tournaments, with two teams from each competition earning Masters Madrid slots, for a total of eight teams attending the event. The competition will begin with a Swiss-style stage, followed by a double-elimination bracket. The Swiss format is new for 2024, with minimal changes to the new VCT structure and scoring system.
With all of the regional Kickoff tournaments wrapping up, here are all of the VALORANT teams that have officially qualified for Masters Madrid thus far.

The two top-finishing teams from each region’s Kickoff competition will advance to Madrid. Each area has one higher- and one lower-seeded club, which are the Kickoff tournament champion and runner-up, respectively.

Throughout the Kickoffs, teams accumulated Championship points for VCT 2024. Even if your favourite team finished third or fourth in Kickoff, they are likely to have earned points that will qualify them for Masters Shanghai or Champions Seoul later this year. Kickoff winners received a maximum of three points.
The final teams will be determined by March 3, with the Americas last to finish.
