Everything you need to know about Valorant Masters Toronto 2025
The Valorant Masters Toronto 2025 started on June 7 at the Enercare Centre and brings together twelve of the best teams from across the world. This major event in the Valorant Champions Tour (VCT) features a $1 million prize pool and valuable VCT circuit points that help teams qualify for Valorant Champions 2025 in Paris.
Tournament format and schedule
The competition is split into two stages: the Swiss Stage and the Playoffs. The Swiss Stage runs from June 7 to June 11 and includes eight teams that finished second and third in their regional Stage 1 tournaments. Each team plays best-of-three matches. Teams with two wins move on, and teams with two losses are eliminated.
The Playoffs begin on June 13 and include four new teams, G2 Esports (Americas), Fnatic (EMEA), Rex Regum Qeon (Pacific), and XLG Esports (China), who finished first in their regions. These four join the Swiss Stage winners in a double-elimination bracket. Most matches will be best-of-three, but the Lower Bracket Final and Grand Final, held on June 22, will be best-of-five.
Teams and early favourites
G2 Esports and Fnatic are among the strongest teams going into the tournament, both coming off strong regional wins. Wolves Esports, making their first international appearance, are one of several underdogs who could cause a surprise. With this level of competition, the event is expected to be unpredictable.
Prize pool and circuit points
The total prize pool is $1 million. The winning team will take home $350,000 and seven VCT points. Second place receives $200,000 and five points, while third and fourth take $125,000 and $75,000 with four and three points. All teams earn at least $15,000.
Where to watch and how to bet
All matches are streamed live on Valorant’s official Twitch and YouTube channels. Fans can also get in-game rewards by watching the event live.
