Twelve of Asia-Pacific’s best VALORANT teams have landed in Seoul, South Korea for VCT Pacific Stage One 2025, where three coveted spots at Masters Toronto and points toward the VALORANT Champions Tour (VCT) are on the line.

With high stakes, fierce rivalries, and a packed schedule from March 22 to May 11, fans can expect nothing short of top-tier competition throughout the event.

A title defense, rival redemptions, and a packed field

Following their championship run at Masters Bangkok, T1 enters as the top seed, led by veterans stax and BuZz. But heavyweights DRX, Gen.G Esports, and Paper Rex are determined to reclaim the throne, setting up intense regional showdowns.

Rounding out the lineup are: TALON, DetonatioN FocusMe, Rex Regum Qeon (RRQ), BOOM Esports, Team Secret, Global Esports, ZETA DIVISION, and Nongshim RedForce (NS RedForce)—all chasing the Pacific crown.

Group stage format
