The battle for this year’s VCT Pacific stage one crown looks tougher than ever as the 12 best VALORANT teams of the region lock horns in Seoul, South Korea.

VCT Pacific stage one 2025 teams and format
All eyes are on the stax and BuZz-led T1, who are raring to sustain their momentum from winning Masters Bangkok, the first international tournament of the year. But DRX, Gen.G Esports, and Paper Rex—regional champions in the recent past—are eager to reclaim the title as the strongest Pacific team.
TALON, DetonatioN FocusMe, Rex Regum Qeon, BOOM Esports, Team Secret, Global Esports, ZETA DIVISION, and Nongshim RedForce are also out to contend for the trophy.
The VCT Pacific stage one takes place at the Sangam Colosseum from March 22 to May 11, with the group stage set to conclude on April 21. Teams are divided into two groups, clashing in best-of-three matches under a single-round robin format. Here are the groups:
| Group Alpha | Group Omega |
|---|---|
| DRX | T1 |
| Gen.G | TALON |
| DetonatioN FocusMe | NS RedForce |
| Paper Rex | RRQ |
| Global Esports | ZETA DIVISION |
| BOOM Esports | Team Secret |
The top four teams from each group advance to the double-elimination playoffs, with the group winners securing a bye into the upper bracket semifinals. The second and third-seeded squads enter the upper bracket in round one, while the fourth-seeded teams start in the lower bracket.
All matches in the playoffs are best-of-three, except for the lower bracket final and grand final, which are best-of-five series. The top three teams at the end of the tournament will qualify for Masters Toronto.
