APAC – Registration is now open for the second Open tournament of the VCT Game Changers APAC circuit. The sign-up page for the Game Changers event can be found here and will continue to be open until May 25 at 23:59 PM SGT.
The group stage of VCT Game Changers APAC Open 2, taking place from May 30 to June 3, will accommodate up to 80 slots for competition, with the top eight finishers moving on to the playoffs. The playoffs will commence on June 6-10, where eight teams will fight for the lion’s share of the US$10,000 prize pool.
