VCT Masters Shanghai is just around the corner as teams are now qualifying for the second international tournament of 2024, and each league’s playoff picture is coming into focus. Here are all the teams who have qualified and what teams need to do to make the Chinese event.

The VCT International Leagues are wrapping up their playoff stages as teams have battled through the regular season for a chance to make Masters Shanghai and earn points towards Valorant Champions.

Across VCT Americas, EMEA, China, and Pacific, all teams needed to do is place in the top three of their respective playoff brackets. Many teams have already lost out on their shot to play in Shanghai by not qualifying for their respective league’s playoff stage.

Each region will finish their playoffs on May 12, and lock in the teams representing their league as well as their seed. Top-seeded teams guarantee a preferential group stage draw at the event.

Sentinels won the last VCT Masters event, but won’t be making Masters Shanghai.

Unlike Masters Madrid, which only featured eight squads, 12 teams will qualify for the Chinese tournament.
