The amount of money up for grabs in the prize pool for the VCT Masters Tokyo competition is the most ever for an event at the Masters level. VCT Masters Tokyo information has been made public as more teams have qualified for the competition and the start date approaches. The tournament will have a GSL-style group round, a double-elimination playoff stage, and a record cash fund for this level of competition, according to Riot Games.
The tournament’s setup should come as no surprise, as GSL groups and a double-elimination playoff bracket have been a staple of nearly every VCT Masters event. The big prize pool is unexpected, as VCT Masters competitions typically offer lesser cash payouts than the global championship. Also, the prize pools for Valorant Champions 2021 and 2022 are each $1 million, and teams will receive a 50% share of the money made through the sale of the tournament’s skins. However, the VCT Masters Tokyo will be the first Masters-level competition to provide a $1 million prize pool.

Also, which included a prize pool of $500,000. However, there was no requirement for teams to qualify for that tournament. Thus, a smaller prize fund makes sense.

- 2nd place: $200,000
- 3rd place: $125,000
