The final Split of Game Changers SEA will begin later this week, with three tickets to Bangkok up for grabs.
SOUTHEAST ASIA – VALORANT Game Changers SEA Split 2 Playoffs kick off this week, running from June 30 to July 6, with three spots at the upcoming Game Changers Pacific in Bangkok on the line. Here’s a quick rundown of everything you need to know.
The initial sixteen teams from the Group Stage have been narrowed down to eight, who will now battle it out in a double-elimination bracket.
Falcons Vega remain the heavy favorites to claim the title, coming in as the reigning Split 1 champions. The roster features the core of the former Xipto Esports lineup, bolstered by two key additions from Falcons’ previous EMEA squad: 2022 Game Changers world champion Maryam “Mary” Maher and in-game leader Modhi “madv” Alkanhal. After going undefeated in Split 1, the team also flew to London to compete in the 2025 Red Bull Instalock, where they emerged victorious after wins against GIANTX GC, FlyQuest RED, and G2 Gozen.

MAD Army returns with a strong lineup, retaining the core of X10 Sapphire: Sarindhorn “JinNy” Wanothayarnchai, Annitta “Alyssa” Peerwantanagul, and Chalita “Muffyn” Buathong. They’re joined by members of the former Invincible GC core, familiar names in the Thailand GC scene, including Waritsara “Felce” Narong, Wanlapa “kitkatwc” Charoensuk, and Katekamon “Izze” Homsuwan. The roster is rounded out by former LILAX player-turned-sub Panassaya “Cendary” Saichue.
Precision Power Quickness have kept most of their core intact, including former Alter Ego Celeste player Risalma “oreopheliaa” Agnia. All four top teams from Split 1 have successfully returned to the playoffs in Split 2, joined by four squads from the open qualifier: Salapao, Hypa Hypa Esports, Kitty Nya Nya, and Kimmy’s Kitchen.
