The VALORANT Champions Tour 2023 will be the beginning of a new format for Riot Games' competitive shooter. The VCT will be divided into three regions (Americas, EMEA, and Pacific) and the top franchises will not only seek to win their region but also the different international tournaments. And the first of them will be the VALORANT Masters, which will be held in Tokyo, Japan.

Riot Games announced it at RiotGamesONE, an Off-Season event that took place in the last two days and that was the right place to complete the narrative that puts Japan as the host of the first international tournament since VALORANT introduced its franchise system.
The tournament format has not yet been confirmed, but we know that it will feature the best teams from each of the three international leagues and that the teams that achieve the best results in the VALORANT Masters will earn a direct pass to participate in the VALORANT Champions, which will close the competitive season.
As for dates, it has not been confirmed when we will be able to enjoy this in-person tournament, and it is expected that Riot Games will provide more details on this matter in the first days of 2023.
