VCT Pacific Kickoff Bracket
The VCT Pacific Kickoff bracket is divided into three groups. While Group A and Group B have four teams each, Group C only has three.
In Group A we have T1, Bleed Esports, ZETA DIVISION, and Global Esports. While both T1 and ZETA DIVISION are the favorites to make it out of the group stage, it will be the first time we see Bleed Esports' Valorant squad playing in Asia's top-flight division as they were promoted to the VCT Pacific in July after defeating SCARZ.
In Group B, DRX are the favorites to take the first seed followed by Team Secret. Talon Esports and DetonatioN FocusMe will potentially fight to qualify for the Play-In.
Last but not least, the Valorant Champions 2023 finalists Paper Rex are the favorites in the region to qualify for the Masters Madrid. They share Group C with Gen.G and Rex Regum Qeon.
When will the VCT Pacific Kickoff start?
The VCT Pacific Kickoff is expected to kick off on Feb. 17. It will be played in Seoul, South Korea, and it will last for two weeks as it will conclude on Feb. 25.
