VALORANT Esports 2025
Riot Games has some exciting changes coming to Pacific this year, with two new teams joining the mix and spicing up the competition – Nongshim RedForce and BOOM Esports. Their addition promises fresh matchups and intense rivalries, setting the stage for an unforgettable season ahead.
Riot Games has already announced the changes to VCT 2025 season. But to recap the main changes: They are expanding the season to ensure we maintain a steady cadence of matches for teams throughout the year while providing fans with a more robust match schedule to enjoy. Championship Points make their return in 2025, albeit with a slight tweak. This time, more teams can earn points through Global events, unlike this year when only the Masters winners received them. At the end of the season, in addition to the two teams qualifying through the Stage 2 Playoffs, two more teams with the highest Championship Points will also secure spots at Champions, rewarding consistently strong performances throughout the season.

VCT PACIFIC 2025
Riot Games start the season with VCT Pacific Kickoff between 18 January to 9 February. Teams will battle through a 12-team double elimination format across 12 days. The 4 teams that qualified for Champions 2024 will be seeded into the second round of the Upper Brackets. The two teams from Ascension 2024 will be placed on opposite sides of the bracket. The remaining teams will be placed through a random draw. The top 2 teams from VCT Pacific Kickoff will qualify for Masters Bangkok, our first global event for 2025, and the first-ever global event to be held in Southeast Asia.
Stage 1 – In this stage, all teams will be divided into two groups of 6 based on their performance in Kickoff. They will compete in a Single Round Robin format within their own groups. From there, the top 4 teams from each group will progress to the Playoffs, where they’ll compete in a double-elimination bracket. This will determine the top 3 teams who qualify for Masters Toronto.
Stage 2 – Following the conclusion of Masters Toronto, teams return to international league competition within their respective regions. In Stage 2, the two groups from Stage 1 will be reshuffled based on each teams’ placements from the Stage 1 group stage.
After a draw, either the first or second placed team in each group will switch groups, as will the third or fourth-placed team, followed by the fifth or sixth-placed team. This reshuffling is designed to maintain a competitive balance throughout the tournament.
Once more within their groups, teams go through a Single Round Robin and the top 4 from each group will advance to the Playoffs and battle for two Champions 2025 qualification spots as well as to become kings of Pacific! Two additional teams will also qualify for Champions via Championship points accumulated throughout the season.
