Valorant Masters Shanghai Format
Masters Shanghai has two parts - the Swiss Stage and the Playoff Stage.
Although only the best teams compete in the Valorant tournament, not all teams are created equal. The victors of each league's Stage 1 will have the chance to participate directly in the Playoff Stage. The remaining 8 teams will have to work a little bit harder to demonstrate their abilities.
The Swiss Stage is scheduled for May 23 to June 3. The Playoff Stage is not so far behind starting from May 30 until June 9.
