A team of eight will bring the show to life in Seoul for the VCT Pacific KICKOFF event.
SOUTH KOREA – VCT Pacific has announced the full eight-member on-air talent lineup who will be guiding you through the KICKOFF event, taking place from February 17-25, on the official English broadcast.
The English broadcast team is made up of the scene’s most well-known names from the previous season, along with two new names making their debut in Seoul: Mika “Mikafabs” Fabella and Darwell “Asurai” Llerena. This Filipino duo brings with them prior experience in English and Filipino broadcasts from past seasons. In addition, they played a role as Panel Judge members for the 2023 VALO2ASIA Awards held last year.
Mikafabs achieved her most recent milestone by making her international debut as the Host at the 2023 VCT Game Changers Championship in Berlin, marking her as the first Filipino talent to be part of the main broadcast of an international VALORANT tournament.
