All Participating Teams in the Valorant Game Changers Championship 2025
A total of 10 teams will make their way to the Valorant Game Changers Championship 2025, representing all corners of the world. These teams are the best of the best, hand picked by Riot Games after proving their worth in their respective regional matches.
The ten qualified teams so far include:
- Shopify Rebellion Gold
- MiBR GC
- G2 Gozen
- GiantX GC
- Karmine Corp GC
- Team Liquid VISA
- KRU Blaze
- Xipto GC
- Ninetails
- Nova Esports GC
All competitors will have to go through a double elimination bracket, and this will continue until there is only one team left standing. The rules also dictate a Best of Three format for the initial few rounds. In other words, these are going to be a lot more small scale than you’d expect.
Additionally, teams from the same regional qualifiers will be placed on the opposite ends of a bracket, in order to ensure a ‘variety in international match ups’.
Where things take an interesting turn though, is in the Lower Bracket and Grand Finals, which will be held in a Best of 5 format instead.
