Currently, all 12 teams in VCT Pacific are still in the running for playoffs. As of the time of writing, both Group Alpha and Group Omega have only completed one round robin each.
2025 Stage 2 and Masters Santiago champions Nongshim RedForce started off the season with a loss against regional powerhouses and fan favorites Paper Rex.
Both NS and PRX are heavily expected to make it to the finals weekend, so if you’re a fan of either of these teams, you should mark your calendars already.
