The VALORANT Esports scene is getting ready for a hot summer with the three international leagues, Masters Tokyo, Challengers Ascension, and the Last Chance Qualifier leading up to Champions Los Angeles.
Here’s a rundown of what to expect:
International League Playoffs: May 19 – 28
Starting in late May, the Pacific League playoffs will be first, followed by the EMEA and Americas playoffs. The top three teams from each league will qualify for Masters Tokyo and Champions Los Angeles. EMEA, which fields four teams at Masters Tokyo, will qualify the teams that finish within the top three.
Masters Tokyo: June 11 – 25
The top three representatives from each league, as well as two teams from China, will compete in Masters Tokyo. EMEA has an additional slot in the tournament thanks to FNATIC’s win at LOCK//IN. The winning team will earn their region a fifth slot at Champions.
