The Valorant Champions Tour will be heading to Copenhagen for Masters 2 and Istanbul for Valorant Champions.
Istanbul has been revealed as the host city for Champions, the end-of-year final that crowns the game's best team. Copenhagen was also revealed to be the host of Masters 2 set to take place in July.
In a blog post, Riot Games explained that they choose the two host cities because they hope to open up the tournaments to live audiences. "Both of these cities provided clear pathways towards these goals."
Previous Valorant Champions Tour LANs have been held in Reykjavík and Berlin, but all have been without a live audience in attendance with even press access limited.
