The team list for the VCT Game Changers APAC Open 1 is complete after the conclusion of the swiss stage.

SINGAPORE – The VCT Game Changers APAC Open 1 Playoffs have now been set after the conclusion of the Swiss stage, which has narrowed the initial pool of 70 teams to just eight. The inaugural Open stage of VCT Game Changers will take place from Wednesday, March 15, to Sunday, March 19, and will showcase some of the most promising and exciting names in Asia’s Game Changers ecosystem. 

The playoff bracket features eight qualified sides fighting in a double-elimination bracket. The list of participants includes last year’s VCT Game Changers APAC Elite champions Sapphire (previously X10 Sapphire), the core of former AE Celeste in RRQ Kaguya, as well as Orangutan Female and Team SMG, who now both boast a Filipino-majority roster.

  • 🇵🇭 Team SMG (Kohaibi, Tarathiel, shirazi, Alexy, Kamiyu)
  • 🇹🇭 Sapphire (Muffyn, poly, margeaux, babytz, JinNy, Celine)
  • 🇮🇩 BIGG SCYTHE (gWenn, oreopheliaa, erumaa, marche, yaamoriY, sereine)
  • 🇵🇭 Orangutan Female (CaspeR, Japips, capriciouS, zini, Chloettw)
  • 🇮🇩 Rex Regum Qeon Kaguya (nabbsky, Eisberg, Ayumii, alluka, bes)
  • 🇮🇳 Global Esports Phoenix (Meow16k, muffinloop, Hyphae4K, Rose, BA1LA, KiRi)
  • 🇵🇭 GO Cyrene (DelBisky, Jaile, KDG, mija, Twirly)
  • 🇹🇭 Capybara GanG (Pichy, mycrephy, izze, Newky, yyamroll, wisely)

It is also worth noting that Sapphire have brought an interesting change to this season by replacing Annitta “Alyssa” Peerwantanagul with former Alter Ego Celeste player Dhammamitta “margeaux” Marvella and highly likely switching their in-game communication to English.

Team SMG have now transitioned to a majority-Filipino roster, and it seems to have paid off as they finished the Swiss stage at the very top and were the only team that went without losing a single map throughout six series. Former Bren Esports Victress duo Alexy “Alexy” Francisco and Kelly “shirazi” Jaudian, as well as former ZOL Meraki player “Kamiyu” join Abigail “Kohaibi” Kong and Ryona “Tarathiel” Tan under the orange banner. 

Same as SMG, the Indonesians of BIGG SCYTHE went 6-0 in the record, beating the likes of Kizuna Tsuki, Capybara GanG, and others on their way to qualification. Rounding out the list are Anrionel “Twirly” Cajanding’s GO Cyrene and Capybara GanG. The two teams are the new contenders, hailing from the Philippines and Thailand, respectively.

The Global Esports Phoenix lineup have been in the works since the beginning of the year under the pseudonym ‘Grace Esports’. During the OFF//SEASON period, they emerged as champions in the Windows 11 Skyesports Grand Slam, the first all-female LAN tournament ever held in India.

The first two quarter-finals on Wednesday will be streamed simultaneously, featuring Global Esports Phoenix and Team SMG on one side, and GO Cyrene and Sapphire on the other side. It will be followed closely by a match in which Orangutan Female will take on BIGG SCYTHE, while RRQ Kaguya will face Capybara GanG.
