Japanese singer and rapper Yuki Chiba will bring his high-energy anthem Shinpai Muyou to the opening ceremony of the VCT Pacific Stage 2 Finals on Aug. 31 at LaLa Arena Tokyo Bay in Funabashi, Chiba. This marks the first time the Pacific split has concluded in Japan, with the two-day event running Aug. 30–31 both in the arena and via live stream.

The tournament kicked off July 15 in Seoul, featuring regional partner squads and ascension contenders vying through group play and knockout rounds. The top two finishers in Tokyo will secure direct qualification to the year-end VALORANT Champions event in Paris, while additional slots will be awarded based on accumulated championship points across the 2025 season. At stake for ascension teams is not only advancement to Champions but also the chance to maintain their place in the Pacific circuit rather than face relegation.

Fans attending in person can explore a variety of on-site attractions throughout finals weekend. Organizers plan interactive fan zones, branded photo opportunities and exclusive merchandise pop-ups designed to celebrate the Pacific region’s VALORANT community. Full schedules and venue activation maps will be announced in the coming weeks, ensuring attendees can make the most of the live experience.

Doors open early on both days to allow ticket holders ample time to enjoy pre-match activities. The ceremony on Aug. 31 is slated to begin at 2 p.m. Japan Standard Time, followed by the semifinal and championship matches. Remote viewers can tune in across the official VCT Pacific Twitch and YouTube channels.

Tickets for non-Japanese residents are available through the event’s English-language portal, while domestic audiences may purchase seats via the Japanese ticketing site. All seating is allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. As the Pacific Stage 2 Finals approach, fans are encouraged to follow the official VCT Pacific social channels for updates on event protocols, broadcast details and last-minute announcements.
