The regular season is set to begin in the Pacific with the top 11 VALORANT teams from around Asia reconvening in Seoul, Korea for the region’s first VCT stage of the 2024 calendar.
A handful of VALORANT roster changes made around the Pacific command attention from the global audience. Arguably the most exciting move is the unexpected return of Jinggg to the Paper Rex starting lineup. For many of these teams, though, performing well in regional play is the first step toward the eventual goal of a Pacific squad winning an international VCT tournament.
Here’s everything you need to know to follow and keep up with the first VCT Pacific stage of 2024.
VCT Pacific 2024 format
The 11 teams competing in VCT Pacific this year will be split up into two groups, based on their Kickoff performance: Group Alpha and Group Omega. In stage one, the teams will play a round-robin against the squads in the other group. In stage two, the teams will play a round-robin against the rosters in their own group.
The top three teams at the end of the stage one round-robin will advance to playoffs, with the top three squads from the playoffs qualifying for Masters Shanghai. The winner of the stage one playoffs will also earn three VCT Championship points.
Here are the groups for VCT Pacific 2024.
| Group Alpha | Group Omega |
|---|---|
| Gen.G | Paper Rex |
| T1 | DRX |
| Team Secret | ZETA DIVISION |
| Global Esports | Talon Esports |
| BLEED | DetonatioN FocusMe |
