With the Play-ins and Group stages of the Valorant Champions Tour (VCT) Asia Pacific (APAC) Challengers One now over, eight teams remain in a bid to make it to VCT Masters One. The top two teams at the event will make it to the first Masters event of this year’s VCT circuit and the winning team will take home a bigger chunk of the prize pool and more VCT circuit points. The playoffs will commence on 24th March and the grand final will take place on 27th March.

The eight teams will compete in double-elimination brackets to make it to the grand final. Both finalists will secure a spot at Stage One Masters but the winner will receive more Valorant Circuit Points and a bigger share of the prize pool. All matches at the event will be decided in a best-of-three series with the grand final set to be a best-of-five matchup.

The total prize pool of the event has been set at $150,000 USD with the winning team set to receive $30,000 and the runner-up set to receive $20,000.
