Official comments from developers:

The health and safety of the players and staff at the Masters in Copenhagen is our highest priority. As a precautionary measure due to COVID-19, all participants should be tested regularly. During mandatory testing, a member of the Paper Rex team received a positive PCR test result. Our policy states that in the event that a player tests positive for COVID-19 but feels well enough to compete and decides to play, they will be able to play their scheduled match over the LAN built into the isolation facility. The player with a positive test will compete in an isolated room, while his teammates and the opposing team will compete on stage. The order of matches on a given day is subject to change.

This is not the first time that the coronavirus has interfered with the lineups. Shortly before the start of the championship, Onur, who is the coach of Leviatán, was out of action. Fnatic also had its difficulties, but later Mistic managed to recover and now he will be able to help the team in the playoffs.

VALORANT Champions Tour 2022: Stage 2 Masters - Copenhagen takes place July 10-24 in Copenhagen in a mixed format. The first weeks of the championship will be held in a studio format, while the final three days will take place at the Forum venue. As part of the championship, twelve participants from Europe, the Americas, Brazil, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia compete for a prize pool of $650,000, as well as ranking points needed to qualify for VALORANT Champions 2022.
