VCT Pacific Stage 2 group draw results revealed

VCT Pacific Stage 2 will start on July 15 in South Korea. The one major change this season is that teams from various leagues of VALORANT Challengers will be taking part as well. VCT Pacific Stage 2 will be the final chance for teams to qualify for Champions Shanghai 2026.

For the group stage draw, teams were seeded based on their performance during the tournament. From Group Alpha, teams were kept in pairs based on their seeding: ie #1 and #2, and so on.

One team from each pair was swapped with the team with the same seeding in Group Omega. Following the draw, below are the groups for the upcoming tournament:

Group Alpha

• FULL SENSE
• Global Esports
• Rex Regum Qeon
• Nongshim RedForce
• ZETA DIVISION
• Gen.G

Group Omega

• Paper Rex
• T1
• Kiwoom DRX
• DetonatioN FocusMe
• Team Secret
• VARREL

With both T1 and Paper Rex making the switch to Group Omega, it has made that group a lot more competitive. Within each group, every team will need to face each other once in a best-of-three series.

Prior to VCT Pacific Stage 2, there will be two international VALORANT tournaments that will be taking place: VALORANT Masters London 2026 and VALORANT X EWC 2026.

Currently, Paper Rex has qualified for both events, while Full Sense and Global Esports have qualified to play in London.
