Everything to know about VCT Pacific League 2023

Format

Similar to the EMEA and Americas leagues, the VCT Pacific League will be held across two stages - the Regular Season and the Playoffs. During the regular season, all 10 teams will compete against each other in a single round-robin format. By spreading the regular season across eight gameweeks, all 10 teams will have the opportunity to play against each other before heading to the Playoffs.

The top six teams from the Regular Season will qualify for the Playoffs stage, which will see these teams battling it out in a double-elimination bracket. The top three teams from the Playoffs will then advance to the VCT Masters Tokyo. Furthermore, these three teams will also qualify for the 2023 Champions, where they will be joined by the winner of the VCT Pacific Last Chance Qualifiers.

All matches in the Regular Season will be conducted as best-of-threes. Every match in the Playoffs stage will follow a best-of-three format as well, with the exception of the Lower and Grand Finals, which will be best-of-fives.
