A Global Contract Database for the Pacific Challengers Scene will be available in the future

The Tier-2 Challengers scene in Valorant is generally not as popular as the VCT segment, but it still draws viewers' attention. This is where teams and players enter the partnership program, prompting Riot Games to decide to launch another open contract database — specifically for the Pacific region.

Existing Contract Database
It’s worth mentioning that an open contract database for all VCT players has existed in Valorant for several years. It provides a list of partnered teams across all four competitive regions, including players and head coaches, along with team contact emails. Additionally, the database offers detailed information about players, such as their nickname, role, full name, contract status with the organization, and contract duration. This initiative ensures maximum transparency in the VCT scene and prevents manipulation of information.

Future Contract Database for the Challengers League
After years of running the existing database, Riot Games now plans to introduce a similar system for the Tier-2 Challengers scene. Jake Sin, Head of Esports for Valorant in the APAC region, held a press conference today regarding Valorant’s Pacific region.

Unexpectedly for many, he announced that Riot Games plans to launch an open contract database for all players and organizations in the Challengers league, although this will only apply to the Pacific region for now.

The system will operate similarly to the Global Contract Database (GCD) used in VCT, providing public access to player data, team affiliations, contract durations, status, and contact details.
According to Sin, this will reduce the number of falsifications and fraudulent activities by players and teams, while also making it easier for players to transition from the Challengers league to the VCT stage. It is still unclear whether similar databases will be created for other regions, but it’s reasonable to assume that they might follow.
