The first international event of the year, the Stage 1 Masters, was held in Reykjavik, Iceland. Stage 2 Masters and Champions were contested in Berlin, Germany in 2021. This means that the VCT will be breaking new ground in both Istanbul and Copenhagen.

Last Chance Qualifier and Live audience

The Last Chance Qualifier will take place between the second Masters tournament and the Champions Final, giving wildcard teams one last chance to qualify for Champions before the competitive circuit wraps up for the year. Unlike previous year, the VCT this year has only two stages rather than three. The Champions prize pool has yet to be determined, but last year’s competition included a $1 million prize pool.

The announcement also read the both the events will be played Infront of a live audience. To put it into context Riot Games has never hosted an international LAN event Infront of a live audience.
