VCT Game Changers East Asia set to start
One team will accompany X10 Saphire as Asian representatives in Berlin next month.
VCT Game Changers East Asia is about to kick off, pitting eight of East Asia’s best female teams for a chance to qualify for the VCT Game Changers Championship in Berlin, Germany, next month.
The inaugural season of the Game Changers circuit in East Asia has made progress toward Riot’s goal of creating new opportunities and exposure for women and other marginalized genders within VALORANT esports. It received much attention from renowned organizations across Japan, South Korea, and China to enter the scene, including ZETA DIVISION, FENNEL, IGZIST, Sengoku Gaming, REIGNITE, NORTHEPTION, ShanXi Gaming, DRX, and more.
The tournament will start with a two-group best-of-three GSL stage during the first three days before transitioning to a single-elimination bracket with two best-of-three semi-finals and a best-of-five grand final. Below you can find the list of competitors in their respective groups:
| Group A | Group B |
| 🇰🇷 MBTI | 🇰🇷 SPG Female |
| 🇹🇼 Oxyg3niOus | 🇨🇳 ShanXi Girls |
