from the article(at the end of the page):

VALORANT CHAMPIONS BERLIN (DEC. 1–12)
You watched challengers rise and masters fall. Now 16 teams will compete in an international double-elimination tournament, and it’s all to become the VALORANT World Champions.
I swear if there are no groups and they make a 16 team bracket off the getgo it would be so stupid

It would start with the group stage. 2 groups of 8 (double elim), 3 teams move on from groups. Top seed of each group goes straight to semis

If in the wildest of realities it was just a 16 team double elim tournamentl; you heard it here first that Riot themselves have already deemed valorant a failed experiment and that this game is dying before CSGO does lol.

At the absolute LEAST the format should be the same as Berlin Masters 3

rito doesn’t like running 2 streams at once because it gives lesser exposure to smaller regions so Swiss stage isn’t happening, I wish it did though

Group stage should be win based then the playoff should be double elim. Doing 16 teams double elim would be inefficient
