As a dedicated Valorant esports analyst with years of experience tracking the Champions Tour, I've seen VCT Stage 3 Masters Berlin emerge as the biggest international LAN event yet. Following the thrilling Stage 2 Masters in Reykjavik, Iceland—which featured 10 teams—this September showdown in Berlin, Germany, elevates the stakes with 16 top squads from North America, EMEA, Brazil, Korea, Japan, Southeast Asia, and Latin America.
Riot's Valorant Champions Tour (VCT) spans Challengers, Masters, and Champions levels across the year. Stage 3 Challengers feeds directly into this global Masters event, building intense regional rivalries before the international stage.
