After an explosive Stage 1 and thrilling Masters Toronto tournament, we are raising the stakes even further for Stage 2.
We are kicking off the next stage by releasing our collaboration single with the talented Yuki Chiba, a Japanese rapper and singer.
‘Shinpai Muyou’ features a bouncy bassline and upbeat drums. Yuki Chiba’s signature flow floats on top of the beat, filled with catchy one-liners and a chorus you can’t help but chant. This is Yuki’s first ever gaming collaboration and we cannot wait for you to hear the track!
‘Shinpai Muyou’ will be released by Coup D'Etat Recordings globally on all streaming platforms on 11 July. We’re also going to drop a VCT Pacific music video on our YouTube channel on the same day, so don’t forget to check it out!
This is going to be a season to remember, so read on to find out how to follow and watch the tournament.
TOURNAMENT FORMAT
Results from Stage 2 will determine, in part, the teams that qualify for VALORANT Champions later this year.
As with Stage 1, teams are split into 2 groups. But these groups have been reshuffled after Stage 1 finals. They will start by competing in a Single Round Robin format within their own groups. From there, the top 4 teams from each group will progress to the Playoffs, where they’ll compete in a double-elimination bracket.
Results from this bracket will determine the top 2 teams that qualify for VALORANT Champions. The 3rd and 4th slots will be decided based on overall Championship points accumulated throughout the 2025 season.

VCT Pacific Stage 2 will begin on 15 July with Finals taking place on 30-31 August.
