The first seed from each region have already reserved their slot in Valorant Masters Shanghai 2024 and will also get to pick their opponent from the Swiss Stage. This will give an extra advantage to the top seeds as they can choose the team that they are the most confortable playing against.
When 100 Thieves' IGL Boostio was asked which team they would choose from the Swiss Stage, he said, "I would say probably any Chinese team or G2. If G2 makes it out, I think our team is so confident against them that like we actually cannot lose to them, even if we played them like 50 times. Because of how confident my teammates are against them because we just keep beating them and destroying them. So it'll probably be a Chinese team or G2."
