Therefore, here are the matches that will take place in the Valorant Champions Seoul playoffs:

Here are the storylines between each one of the teams!
DRX vs. Sentinels
The clash between DRX and Sentinels will be the only international match of the Upper Bracket quarter-finals. Curiously enough, Sentinels was the team that knocked out Gen.G Esports, Pacific's second seed.
Trace Esports vs. EDward Gaming
Unfortunately for the VCT China fans, Trace Esports and EDward Gaming will face off in the Upper Bracket quarter-finals. Trace Esports will be making their Valorant Champions playoff debut after taking Group C's first seed.
Meanwhile, EDward Gaming hope to reach the semi-finals to secure what would be the team's second-ever Top 6 finish at Valorant Champions.
G2 Esports vs. Leviatán
G2 Esports will have the chance to redeem themselves against Leviatán as the clash will be a replay of the VCT 2024 Americas grand final.
While G2 Esports took Group D's first seed, Leviatán secured a playoff finish after their win against Team Vitality earlier today.
Team Heretics vs. Fnatic
Last but not least, Team Heretics will play against Fnatic as the only remaining VCT EMEA teams will play each other in the Upper Bracket quarter-finals.
Team Heretics come from taking Group B's first seed after victories against FunPlus Phoenix and Gen.G Esports, while the VCT 2024 EMEA champions secured a playoff spot after victories against KRÜ Esports and Bilibili Gaming.
