Masters Madrid: Who Are the Favorites to Win in the VALORANT Champions Tour Masters?

Sentinels are the leading team hailing from the Americas, and it is a no-brainer that they are the heavy favorite to win in the Masters Madrid. The game-by-game improvement from the team has been staggering as they found themselves in the mix by securing the best finish in the VCT 2024: Americas Kickoff. The regional champions are poised to come up with a massive rebuild in their dynasty in VALORANT, and it seems that this coming tournament will be the perfect stage for them to come up with a strong finish. Let’s just say that the team is the one that everyone should have their eyes on as they have the best chance to win.

As one of the most consistent teams in VALORANT history, there’s no doubt that LOUD can be a contender to look out for with the way they are playing their games. So far, the winners of the VCT Americas in 2023 and third-place finisher in the VCT Champions 2023 are definitely making a lot of noise as they are still making up for lost time – hoping to continue the same pace they had in their 2023 run where they saw themselves as one of the hottest teams in the game with a massive string of victories. Who knows, maybe a bigger winning year is at hand this 2024 for LOUD.

As one of the few teams who have won the VCT Masters, FunPlus Phoenix really has to set some expectations in the coming games as they hope to bring success once more. However, we are yet to see some impressive strides from the Chinese iteration of the roster, which is why their Masters Madrid campaign will be fun to watch considering how well they will play their games as they go up against the giants of the competition now more than ever. This is why fans should expect bigger strides from the team at this point in time.

The Chinese squad comes off into the mix as a highly-anticipated squad in the competition. From achieving massive roster signups to building a new meta in VALORANT, it does seem that EDward Gaming is the face of innovation in the game right now. However, the team still has a lot to prove if they are going to come up with massive victories in the long run. This shot at the Masters Madrid is going to be the biggest determining factor as to how will they be able to build a lasting legacy in the game.

It cannot be denied that Karmine Corp has seen some of its ups and downs in the past few years, and yet this team is going to be the dark horse of the competition with the way they have been playing at a high level in the past few months. Showing off the perfect blend of youth and experience, Karmine does a great job of putting up some of the biggest performances in their games, which is why it is expected for them to emerge from the shadows and even pull off some upsets against the bigger teams in this competition.

Perhaps it is quite stunning to see Gen G. considering how they have performed in the past few games. However, there are a lot of reasons to consider when looking out for the squad that has been considered one of the best shockers in the VCT Pacific. It is expected that they will be the underdogs for the competition this time, and while that seems to be a downside, it should be known that Gen G. thrives when they have their backs against the wall, and that is something that you should consider looking out for if they are going to be a team you want to bet on.

Perhaps the only team that is considered the “Sentinels stopper” in the competition, Paper Rex is definitely a major favorite to come up with the victory in the Masters Madrid so long as they continue to come up with massive strides down the stretch in the early parts of the competition. The core of this team has been retooled with some major roster changes, which led us to see PR come up with a dash to the final in most of the tournaments this year alone, and that should be enough reason for fans to expect them to come away with their first Masters trophy now more than ever.
