why are there like 15 masters events in 2021 and which ones matter more than others

wonderful question!
i dont know

online era had hella regional masters

First Strike 2020 is the only ONE that mattered

valorant didnt exist until reykjavik 22

the only 2 masters that actually mattered were Reykjavik and Berlin. There were travel restrictions due to the pandemic which is why the first masters of the year was regional instead of international

They were regional "masters." Basically they were the stages of right now to qualify to the LAN (these "masters" were also played all online I belive)
