Valorant Champions Tour 2021 is gradually coming to an end and Berlin will be the last stop for the tournaments this year. However, before reaching the World Championship in December, the top teams will focus on Masters 3 starting from the 9th and ending on September 19. This will be a turning point and many names participating in the upcoming Worlds will also be determined.
Like Masters 2, Masters 3 in Germany also has the presence of 16 teams. However, it is worth noting that this year Bren Esports was unable to attend because she could not get a visa. However, BRN will not be disadvantaged to enjoy 175 cumulative points, along with the bonus equivalent to the teams ranked 15 and 16.
In addition, the area of Table D (with BRN) has also changed a bit when the remaining 3 teams are Sentinels, G2 Esports and F4Q will play in a round of 2 turns to select 2 teams into the knockout round. Except for the reluctant case of Group D, all the groups A, B and C will still play in the formula of the winning branch – the losing branch as the Organizing Committee has announced.
This is considered a breakthrough of Riot Games after a series of opinions from the players as well as fans. Because, with the competition in the wins – branches, the teams participating in Masters 3 will be rubbed more and have more opportunities to correct. On the other hand, achieving a high rank to get enough accumulated points to go to Worlds is also the ultimate goal of the teams.
However, even if they do not complete the mission at Masters 3, the teams who are not eligible to be present in Worlds still have another chance that the Last Chance event in October. At that time, the last 4 power to attend Valorant Champions will be determined to let 16 teams compete to find the first world champion of Valorant.
