VCT Pacific Kickoff 2025 schedule, scores, and standings

The VCT Pacific Kickoff 2025 tournament is now live, promising exhilarating VALORANT matchups to start the season. The next few weeks will see the region’s best teams battle it out to collect crucial championship points and even make it to the year’s first international tournament, VCT Masters Bangkok. 

The Kickoff is a regional VCT event, serving as an introduction to the 2025 VALORANT esports season. All four partnership leagues—the Americas, EMEA, APAC, and China—are hosting a Kickoff tournament of their own. The upcoming Masters Bangkok will only host the top two teams from each region, so we’re definitely going to witness some great action.
