VCT 2023 Masters Tokyo: Schedule and format
VCT 2023 Masters Tokyo will take place from July 11 through 25. This is more than a month after the conclusion of the three VCT international leagues.
Twelve teams from EMEA, Americas, Pacific, and China will take part in the tournament, which will feature a double-elimination bracket. It’s a format that will be welcomed by fans and players following the criticism of VCT LOCK//IN’s single-elimination format.

Riot Games is yet to reveal the venue that will stage the event. The expectation is that there will be a crowd for the entire tournament, but there’s no official confirmation from Riot at this point.
VCT 2023 Masters Tokyo: Regional team slots
Ten of the 12 tournament slots will be determined by the international leagues in EMEA, Pacific and the Americas.
EMEA will be represented by four teams at VCT Masters Tokyo following Fnatic’s VCT LOCK//IN victory, which earned the region an extra slot. Pacific and the Americas will have three teams each.
There will also be two representatives from China, though it’s unclear at this point how they will be determined. This will be China’s third appearance on the international stage after VCT LOCK//IN and VALORANT Champions 2022.
