Masters Reykjavík is the first international event since VALORANT Champions in 2021, the most prestigious VALORANT tournament to date. It will be a great opportunity to see how the meta has changed across all regions.

Here’s a guide on how to watch 2022 Masters Reykjavík.

Format

Eight of the 12 teams will be considered low seeds and will be split into two double-elimination groups of four. All the matches in the group stage will be best-of-three series and the two best teams from each group will advance to the playoffs, where the four high seed teams will be waiting.

The playoffs will use a double-elimination bracket structure and all the matches will be best-of-three, except for the lower bracket final and the grand finals, which will be best-of-five series. Riot has yet to announce the prize pool for Masters Reykjavík.
