The 2024 Valorant Champions Tour: Madrid Masters, also known as Valorant Masters Madrid 2024, was a global tournament organized by Riot Games for the first-person shooter game Valorant as part of the Valorant Champions Tour 2024 competitive season.[2] The tournament was held from March 14–24, 2024, in Madrid, Spain. The finalists of each regional league of VCT Kickoffs competed in the first major tournament of the season, which included the Americas League, EMEA League, Pacific League, and the China League.
Before the finals, an exhibition game was played between Team Spain and Team International to showcase the new agent Clove. Alongside other agents, both teams had Clove (mimi for Team International and mixwell for Team Spain) in their rosters. In that match, Team Spain defeated Team International 13-8.
Americas' Sentinels claimed their second global event title as they defeated Pacific's Gen.G in a five-game championship series, 3–2, to become the first ever two-time Masters champions. Zachary "zekken" Patrone of Sentinels earned the Finals MVP award garnering a 101/85/29 KDA during the series.[3]
