The organizers of the VALORANT Masters London 2026 have determined the matchups for the second round of the Swiss stage. After the initial matches, the teams split into two groups: those with a 1-0 record will compete for an early playoff spot, while teams with a 0-1 record will fight to keep their tournament hopes alive. A notable feature of this round is the occurrence of four regional matchups: EMEA, Americas, China, and Pacific.
How the Second Round Seeding Was Formed
The second-round matchups of the Swiss stage at Masters London 2026 were determined based on the results of the initial matches. Teams were divided into two brackets: advancing to the upper round with a 1-0 record were Team Vitality, FUT Esports, NRG, and Leviatán. Meanwhile, Dragon Ranger Gaming, Xi Lai Gaming, Global Esports, and FULL SENSE landed in the lower round with a 0-1 record.
In the upper group, teams will play for a 2-0 record and an early playoff entry, while the losers will drop to the 1-1 pool. In the lower group, the situation is reversed: winners will keep their chances alive, while teams suffering a second defeat will exit the tournament.
Second Round Match Schedule
The second round of the Swiss stage is unique as all four matchups will be between teams from the same regions. In the upper group, viewers can expect internal matches in EMEA and Americas, while the lower group will feature regional duels in China and Pacific.
VALORANT Masters London 2026 is taking place in London from June 6 to 21 at the Copper Box Arena. The tournament features 12 teams and a total prize pool of $1,000,000. The Swiss stage will continue until June 10, after which the top teams will join the playoff participants.
