The VALORANT Champions Tour Pacific region wrapped up its regular season earlier this year, crowning the teams that will represent the league in VALORANT Champions. While Paper Rex, DRX, and T1 have all already clinched a spot in the final ultimate international competition of the year, the remaining seven teams will fight for the final spot in the Last Chance Qualifier (LCQ).

The first round of the Upper Bracket and Upper Bracket Quarterfinals will both be single-elimination games, with the losers of these series being eliminated from the LCQ.
