T1, Gen.G, DRX, Paper Rex, ZETA DIVISION, DetonatioN Gaming, Team Secret, Talon Esports, Global Esports, and Rex Regum Qeon are the 10 VALORANT teams hailing from Asia that secured a partner spot in VCT 2023 Pacific league.
This means that these organizations will be directly involved in Riot Games’ ecosystem for VALORANT. These teams also must stick to an Asian roster to compete in the VCT 2023 Pacific league and can only have one import player, regardless of whether said player is from the Americas or Europe.
Most of the teams have already revealed their VALORANT rosters for the VCT 2023 Pacific league after the Oct. 15 deadline set by Riot. Here is every team, player, and coach attending the Asian VALORANT competition next year.
