VCT Masters Madrid: Format

Masters Madrid debuted a new format for the early stage of the tournament, a Swiss format. The format was introduced to Riot’s other major esports title, League of Legends, in 2023.

The Swiss format sees the top-seeded teams first going up against a No. 2 seed from a different region. From there, teams who win will be pared up against other teams of the same record, until four teams have accumulated two wins before two losses.

Each series will be a best-of-three and will continue until the field of eight is reduced to four.

The Playoff Stage will see the four teams face off in a double-eliminated bracket, with each match being a best-of-three, with the lower and Grand Finals matchups being best-of-five series.
