Tickets for the '2026 VCT Pacific Final Busan,' held at the Sajik Indoor Gymnasium in Dongnae-gu, Busan, will go on sale on Wednesday, August 5, at 5 PM.

Riot Games announced that tickets for the 'VCT Pacific Final Busan'—the esports tournament for its 5v5 character-based tactical shooter 'Valorant'—will be available for purchase via NOL Ticket. International fans residing outside of Korea can purchase tickets separately through NOL World.

The '2026 VCT Pacific Stage 2' kicked off on Thursday the 16th, with teams divided into Alpha and Omega groups competing for a spot in the next round. The top two teams from each group will advance directly to the playoffs, while the remaining eight teams will move to the newly introduced Play-In stage.

In addition to the eight Pacific teams, the winners of each regional VCL tournament will join the Play-In stage. The participating teams include Valorant Challengers League Korea winners Onside Gaming (ONG), VCL SEA winners Sharper Esports (SP), VCL Japan winners Cutie Dig (QTD), and VCL Pacific Last Chance Qualifier (LCQ) winners Jipto Esports (XPT), all competing for four playoff spots. Only the top four teams from this stage will join the top two teams from each group in the playoffs.

The four teams that survive the playoffs will advance to the VCT Pacific Final Busan, held at the Sajik Indoor Gymnasium for three days from Friday, September 4, to Sunday, September 6. The results of this tournament will determine which teams qualify for Champions Shanghai, the premier Valorant esports event. A total of four teams will head to Shanghai: the winner and runner-up of Pacific Stage 2, Paper Rex (PRX)—who already secured their spot by finishing as runners-up at Masters London—and the team with the highest accumulated Championship Points.

Matches will be broadcast live on SOOP, Chzzk, and YouTube. Tournament schedules and further information can be found on the official website for Valorant Esports.
