The Asian Champions League 2025: EWC Pacific Qualifier is the final chance for Pacific-region teams to secure a slot at the Esports World Cup 2025 in VALORANT.

DRX
BOOM Esports
TALON
T1

Since in other regions all VCT teams participated in their respective qualifiers, it's safe to conclude that ZETA DIVISION and DFM voluntarily opted out.

The Asian Champions League 2025: EWC Pacific Qualifier will feature two phases — a group stage and playoffs. The tournament runs from May 22 to 25, with two coveted invitations to the Esports World Cup 2025 in VALORANT up for grabs.
