VCT CHINA 2024 KICK-OFF
This tournament is a big deal, with 11 teams battling it out. Some are partner teams, and others earned their spot through the ascension Tournament. It’s going down from february 22nd to March 2nd. The best part? The top two teams get a ticket to masters madrid.
Let’s break it down. The tournament has three stages: group stage, play-in, and playoffs. In the group stage, the number one team from each of the three groups heads straight to the playoffs.
The second-place teams, though, need to prove themselves in the play-ins. From there, only four teams, including three group stage winners and one play-in survivor, make it to the playoffs. The top two teams from here secure their place in Masters Madrid
