Seoul set for historic 2025 VALORANT Game Changers Championship

The championship will run for 11 days, with the venue inside the Gran Seoul complex temporarily rebranded as "VAL Park" for the duration of the tournament.

Riot Games has confirmed the full field of 10 qualifying teams, drawn from the Pacific, China, Americas, and EMEA regions.

The Pacific will be represented by Xipto GC, the regional champions, alongside Ninetails, who make history as the first Korean team to reach a Game Changers Championship. From China, Nova Esports GC enter after clinching qualification through their Stage 2 triumph.

The Americas region sends four teams: Shopify Rebellion Gold, Team Liquid Brazil, KRU Blaze, and Made In Brazil GC.

Shopify Rebellion Gold arrive among the strong favourites, having secured back-to-back titles in 2023 and 2024, following a runners-up finish in 2022. Their consistency has shaped the competitive narrative of the series.

From EMEA, the storied G2 Gozen lead the contingent, joined by Karmine Corp GC and GIANTX GC. G2 Gozen, champions in 2022, have reached the top four every year, reinforcing their status as perennial contenders.

Game Changers was established to broaden opportunities for women within VALORANT esports, and the annual championship now serves as the decisive stage for crowning the best women's VALORANT team in the world.
