The Valorant pro season keeps moving forward and, with the group stage now in the books, only the best from VCT Pacific Stage 2 remain in the fight for the region’s four coveted spots at VALORANT Champions Paris 2025. With the playoff bracket set, here’s the full schedule and a look at who is ready to battle for the title.
After four weeks of intense competition, four teams have exited the tournament. Global Esports and Team Secret were eliminated from Group Alpha, while ZETA DIVISION and BOOM Esports failed to advance from Group Omega, bringing their 2025 season to an early end.
Top Eight Group Stage Teams Qualified For The VCT 2025: Pacific Stage 2 Playoffs
Eight teams advanced to the VCT Pacific Stage 2 Playoffs, with the top two from the group stage earning a stronger position in the next phase. DRX, Rex Regum Qeon, Nongshim RedForce, Paper Rex, TALON, T1, Gen.G and DetonatioN FocusMe will compete in a double-elimination format with best-of-three series, except for the Lower Bracket Final and Grand Final, which will be best-of-five.
Paper Rex and DRX topped their respective groups, moving directly into the second round and standing just one win away from the Upper Bracket Final. DetonatioN FocusMe and Gen.G, however, open their campaigns in the lower bracket, where a single loss would end their run in the tournament.
The VCT Pacific Stage 2 Playoffs begin August 13 with Upper Bracket Round 1 matchups between TALON and Nongshim RedForce, followed by Rex Regum Qeon facing T1 to close the day. The winners will advance to meet Paper Rex and DRX on August 14. The action continues on August 15 with the first eliminations of the tournament in the opening lower-bracket matches.
Super Week and the Road to the Finals
After a super week packed with high-stakes matches, the competition will conclude on August 30 with the Lower Bracket Final and on August 31 with the Grand Final. Both finalists will secure a direct spot at VALORANT Champions Paris, while Championship Points will determine the remaining two regional berths. Nongshim RedForce, TALON and DetonatioN FocusMe can only qualify for the world championship by reaching the final. All matches will be streamed live on the official VALORANT channels on Twitch and YouTube.
