Amid various speculations, Riot has officially announced that the VCT Masters event will be held in Shanghai, China.

VCT 2024 Masters Shanghai

Following the official release of Valorant in China, the expectation for a major event in the near future was high. "Masters Shanghai" is scheduled for "late spring" and will feature the top teams from the three international leagues along with qualifiers' winners.

The rapidly growing Chinese Valorant community marks a significant milestone for its competitive scene, evident by their recent LAN tournament, which served as a qualifier for Champions 2023, shortly after Valorant's release in China on July 12th.

Masters Shanghai will be the second international event of the 2024 VCT, coming after the initial event that will kick off the Valorant competitive season. This will be the 6th VCT Masters in Valorant and will take place less than a year after VCT Masters Tokyo.
