VCT Pacific Stage 1 will be extra spicy, with T1 entering the event as VALORANT Masters Bangkok champions. DRX will be aiming for another Pacific trophy, while PRX is back with redemption on its mind after an early exit in Kickoff.
To improve their performances and results, several VCT Pacific teams will be making roster changes before the transfer window closes. Below, we’ve compiled all the latest moves ahead of VCT Pacific Stage 1.
Paper Rex
Most teams are sticking with their rosters for VCT Pacific Stage 1, with the exception of Paper Rex and TALON.
Paper Rex, after missing their first-ever Masters event, has responded by signing Patrick ‘PatMen’ Mendoza from NAOS Esports as 6th player on a contract running until 2027.
“As VALORANT reaches its 5th year, it’s no surprise that the VCT circuit is more competitive than ever, and we must energise and reinvigorate ourselves,” said Paper Rex Chief Gaming Officer (CGO) Harley ‘dsn’ Örwall.
“An injection of new blood with young eyes brings fresh perspectives to our game. Adding PatMen to the PRX family allows us to widen our experiments with a greater breadth of playstyles.”
Here is the roster going into Stage 1:
- Khalish ‘d4v41’ Rusyaidee
- Jason ‘f0rsakeN’ Susanto
- Aaron ‘mindfreak’ Leonhart
- Ilia ‘something’ Petrov
- Wang ‘Jinggg’ Jie
- Patrick ‘PatMen’ Mendoza
TALON
TALON has signed Tanate ‘killua’ Teerasawad from FULL SENSE and promoted Anupong ‘thyy’ Preamsak from the TALON Academy roster, both on contracts lasting until 2027. They replaced Peter “Governor” No and Joseph “ban” Oh in the team.
Here is TALON’s full roster:
- Thanamethk ‘Crws’ Mahatthananuyut
- Jittana ‘JitboyS’ Nokngam
- Papaphat ‘Primmie’ Sriprapha
- Anupong ‘thyy’ Preamsak
- Tanate ‘killua’ Teerasawad
VCT Pacific Stage 1 kicks off on March 22nd and fans will be able to catch the action live on VCT Pacific’s official Twitch and YouTube channel.
