At the beginning of this year, VALORANT Masters Bangkok 2025 will take place – the 1st Masters esports tournament in Southeast Asia. Experts from the international betting platform 1xBet will share the latest and most exciting details about the upcoming event.
VALORANT Champions Tour 2025 format
Riot Games, the developer of the shooter VALORANT, also organizes its tournament series. The world is divided into 4 leagues (Americas, China, EMEA, and Pacific), each featuring 12 teams.
At the start of the season, each league hosts a Kickoff tournament, where the top 2 teams advance to Masters Bangkok 2025. In late spring, leagues will hold Stage 1 tournaments, with the top 3 teams from each region advancing to Masters Toronto 2025.
After a short break at the end of summer, teams will compete in Stage 2 tournaments to determine 2 more qualifiers for the main event of the year – VALORANT Champions 2025. Another 2 teams from each region will qualify based on VCT Points, awarded to the top performers in the VALORANT Champions Tour 2025. In the end, the 16 best teams in the world will compete for the title and a $2,250,000 prize pool.
VALORANT Masters Bangkok 2025 tournament
The Bangkok tournament will take place from February 20 to March 2 at UOB Live. 8 teams from 4 leagues, who secured 1st and 2nd place in the Kickoff tournaments, will compete.
- G2 Esports (Americas #1)
- Sentinels (Americas #2)
- EDward Gaming (China #1)
- Trace Esports (China #2)
- Team Vitality (EMEA #1)
- Team Liquid (EMEA #2)
- DRX (Pacific #1)
- T1 (Pacific #2)
Unfortunately, teams from the Pacific region, such as Global Esports and Team Secret, did not make it to the tournament. Esports fans from the Philippines would have surely supported these teams, as they feature popular players Jessie Cristy “JessieVash” Cuyco and Federico “PapiChulo” Evangelista. But you can still support them online through betting on 1xBet. Is 1xBet a legit website? Of course! This betting platform, with 18 years of experience in the industry, is visited by over 3,000,000 players worldwide every month!
During the 1st stage, from February 20 to 24, teams will play several matches in the Bo3 format using the Swiss System. Teams with 2 wins will qualify for the Playoffs, while those with 2 losses will be eliminated. To make the competition more exciting, the 1st matches will feature teams from different regions. League winners will face the 2nd-place teams from other divisions.
- EDward Gaming – Team Liquid (20.02.2025)
- DRX – Sentinels (20.02.2025)
- Team Vitality – T1 (21.02.2025)
- G2 Esports – Trace Esports (21.02.2025)
In the 2nd round, teams will move to either the upper or lower bracket based on the results of the opening matches. In the 3rd round, the final 4 teams to be eliminated will be determined.
The Playoff matches will occur from February 27 to March 2 in a Double-Elimination bracket, giving even the losing team a 2nd chance to reach the Grand Final. The Lower Final and Grand Final will be played in the Bo5 format, while all other Playoff clashes will be in Bo3.
Our prediction
The VALORANT Masters Bangkok 2025 will feature the 8 best teams from around the world, each with a real chance of winning. So, if your bet loses, there’s no point in leaving 1xBet complaints.
