Valorant Champions Tour Pacific (VCT Pacific) is one of four territories of the Valorant Champions Tour (VCT), a global competitive esports tournament series organised by the game's developer Riot Games. It consists of teams from the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, eight of which are partner teams and multiple non-partner teams as of the 2027 season, competing in open qualifiers and regional events throughout the year.
Launched in 2022, it merged the Southeast Asia, Korea, and Japan regions, which were separate when the VCT was announced in 2020, into one franchised international league. In line with the VCT's return to a regional open qualifier system in 2027, the territory adopted qualification pathways for eight regions: Korea, Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Southeast Asia (Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, rest of Southeast Asia), South Asia, and Oceania, serving as qualifiers for both Kickoff and Regional Cups.
VCT Pacific holds three events (Kickoff + Regional Cups) per year that serve as qualifiers for the annual Valorant Masters and Valorant Champions tournaments, respectively. The eight partner teams automatically qualify for Kickoff, but will have to qualify for Cups, Masters, and Champions through the open qualification system.
Teams from VCT EMEA have appeared in seven Masters finals, including four consecutive Masters titles from Masters Shanghai 2024 to Masters Santiago 2026. Paper Rex is also the only team to have appeared in a Champions finals, having faced Evil Geniuses during the 2023 edition.
