All eight names taking part in the upcoming VALORANT Game Changers Pacific 2025 event in Bangkok have been set.
THAILAND – The full team list for VALORANT Game Changers Pacific 2025 has been locked in following the conclusion of GC South Asia, where Asterisk Women (formerly Purrfectionists) secured the final spot for the Bangkok event.
Anrionel “Twirly” Cajanding and her team will join the seven other qualified squads in a double-elimination, best-of-three tournament taking place from October 6 to 12 in Bangkok, Thailand. The top two teams from Game Changers Pacific will earn a spot at the GC Championship, the pinnacle of the women’s VALORANT circuit scheduled for November 20–30 in Seoul, South Korea.
The lineup features mostly familiar names from last year’s competition: Falcons Vega (competed as Xipto Esports in 2024), Xipto GC (SISU in 2024), HYPA HYPA Esports (BOBA in 2024), Ninetails GC (Mir Gaming GC in 2024), FENNEL Hotelava, swaglord9000, and Asterisk Women (Purr-Fectionists in 2024). The only new face in the mix is REIGNITE Lily, headlined by former ZETA DIVISION GC in-game leader UR.

Once again, Falcons Vega enter the event as heavy favorites. Built around the dominant core of the former Xipto/SMG roster, the team has not lost a single game within the Pacific region since 2023. Their consistency and synergy make them the team to beat, but cracks have started to show. Both Xipto GC and HYPA HYPA Esports pushed Falcons to the edge during SEA Split 2, hinting that the gap between them and the rest of the field may be narrower than ever before.
Japan’s biggest hope lies with FENNEL Hotelava, who have transformed into a true superteam with the high-profile arrivals of Suzu “suzu” Sasaki and Sarina “Moco” Kawashima from the now-disbanded ZETA DIVISION GC. With this revamped roster, FENNEL not only represents Japan’s strongest shot at the Pacific title but also a genuine threat to Falcons Vega’s dominance.
Meanwhile, Ninetails GC will be looking to turn heads once more after a top-four finish in Bangkok last year. From Oceania and South Asia, swaglord9000 and Asterisk Women will also be making their second appearance in Bangkok. Both teams arrive with updated lineups and a clearer sense of the competition, hoping to close the gap on more established names and make deeper runs this time around.
