VCT Masters Reykjavík 2022: VALORANT scores, schedule, and brackets

The first stage of the 2022 VALORANT Champions Tour is all set to conclude at the first international event of the year at VCT Masters Reykjavík.

Upon the VCT’s return to Reykjavík after a year, eight of the 12 competing teams will meet in a two-group group stage, with the top two teams from each group moving on to join the four top seeds out of NA, EMEA, APAC, and Brazil/LATAM. The Guard, G2, Paper Rex, and LOUD will await the group stage teams in the double-elimination playoff bracket.

The 12 teams are fighting for a yet-to-be-determined prize pool and a maximum of 750 VCT circuit points that will go toward qualification for VCT Champions at the end of the year.
