Riot Games has made public the schedule for the upcoming VCT Pacific Stage 2 Group Stage.
SOUTH KOREA – Riot Games has officially released the schedule for the group stage of VCT Pacific Stage 2.
The results of Stage 2 will play a significant role in determining which teams qualify for the 2025 VALORANT Champions event in Paris this September.
Similar to Stage 1, teams will be divided into two groups of six, but with new groupings this time around. Each team will play every other team in their group once in a single round-robin format. The top four teams from each group will advance to the playoffs, which will follow a double-elimination bracket.

The top two teams from the playoffs will secure direct qualification to VALORANT Champions Paris, while the remaining two slots will be awarded based on overall Championship Points earned across the 2025 season. These points are awarded based on performance in regional VCT matches as well as placements at international events.
The group stage kicks off on July 15 and will run for four weeks, featuring two matches per day starting at 16:00 GMT+8 (Singapore/Malaysia/Philippines time). The group stage wraps up on August 17, with the playoff schedule to be announced closer to that date.
One major change this stage: the final two days of the event will take place in Tokyo, Japan, marking VCT Pacific’s first-ever road show following the footsteps of VCT CN, which previously held their finals weekend in Changsha and Beijing.
The VCT Pacific Finals Weekend will be held at LaLa Arena Tokyo Bay, with tickets going on sale starting July 6 at 09:00 GMT+8. Meanwhile, season tickets for the group stage and playoffs in at Sangam Colosseum in Seoul will be available from June 27 at 13:00 GMT+8.
