The wait is almost over! VCT Pacific, home to some of the best VALORANT teams in the world, returns this month with Stage 1 of the 2025 season. Riot Games has officially announced the schedule for the Regular Season, which kicks off on March 22.
Format and Group Draw
Following the lower final of the VCT Pacific Kickoff, the group draw for Stage 1 was conducted live in Seoul. The 12 teams have been divided into two groups, Group Alpha and Group Omega, based on their Kickoff performances.
Each group will compete in a single round-robin format, where the top four teams will advance to the Mid-Season Playoffs. These playoffs will follow a double-elimination bracket, with the top two teams receiving a bye to the second round. The bottom two teams, however, will start with a 0-1 record in the lower bracket. Ultimately, the top three teams from the playoffs will secure their places at VALORANT Masters Toronto, the second international event of the year, set to take place in June.
Matches will take place daily at 13:30 GMT+5:30 (Indian Standard Time), with two series played back-to-back over five weeks.
