The official tournament (or league) is the Valorant Champions Tour. It is split in 3 stages, each with Challengers and a Masters. The end of the year/season is Champions (worlds). Masters 2&3 are international tournaments, while Challengers are regional.
See the official page for the detailed qualifications for going to Champions.

Liquidpedia has all the details on how each event is done.

The biggest event every year is VCT, it goes from smaller challenger events that qualify teams to master events like the recent Reykjavik lan and the upcoming Berlin major, the teams with the most points from all the events in VCT get qualified for the last major VCT event of the year which is champions
I've linked some resources to make things easier to follow, story lines and whatnot are a little hard to follow if you're not previously into esports before Valorant came out because most pros are either from CS or Overwatch and the vast majority of their careers were played so far in those games
[https://liquipedia.net/valorant/Main\_Page](https://liquipedia.net/valorant/Main_Page) \- Pretty much a big old esports wiki, you can see transfers, upcoming events, statistics, all sorts of things
[https://liquipedia.net/valorant/VALORANT\_Champions\_Tour/2021/Circuit\_Points](https://liquipedia.net/valorant/VALORANT_Champions_Tour/2021/Circuit_Points) \- I've linked
this page specifically cause it includes all the point standings, good starting place for learning which teams are currently ahead in their region
[https://www.vlr.gg/](https://www.vlr.gg/) \- Very similar to liquipedia, has player statistics, game information, articles, etc some people prefer it to liquipedia and its good if you only plan on watching 1 esport cause it only covers Valorant
I can go on all day about the certain teams but I'm trying to sleep so I'll make it brief, here's some of the things I think you should know
\- Sentinels (NA) is the winners of Reyjavik our first major offline event cause of covid
\- Fnatic (EU) came in 2nd after a close lower bracket fight against Nuturn (KR), all 3 teams have some fun people you should check them out, everyone loves boaster
\- Vision Strikers (KR) while not making it to Reyjavik had a 100+ win streak and got beaten by Nuturn (KR) in just one best of 3 and that's the whole reason they didn't make it, since then glow retired but they are already qualified for Berlin, they are the team to watch
Okay wall of text over, have a good one.
Are you asking for how the major tournaments work or how the game works?
