All teams qualified for the VALORANT Game Changers Championship 2025

Here’s the full list of teams that have qualified for the 2025 Game Changers Championship, which will be held in Seoul, South Korea.

The complete list of teams competing in the 2025 Game Changers Championship will be announced shortly. The ten top teams from around the world will battle it out for the championship title – a moment they’ve all worked towards. The big question is: can anyone beat Shopify Rebellion Gold, the current two-time world champions, and become the new champions?

So, the deal is, only the best ten teams in the world get to go to Seoul, South Korea, and battle it out at the Game Changers Championship in 2025. It’s gonna be a tough climb to get there, but that’s the ultimate goal!

As a Valorant fan, I’m really excited about how the Americas region is shaping up for GCC 2025! We’ve got guaranteed spots for teams from Brazil, North America, and LATAM, which is awesome. But there’s one last chance for another team to qualify through the Game Changers Americas LCQ. Basically, the second-best teams from each of those regions – MIBR GC, Akave Esports Black, and Wadadaa – will be fighting it out for that final spot. It’s going to be a super competitive qualifier!

Okay, so here’s how it breaks down for qualifying teams: Europe, the Middle East, and Africa – we’ll get three teams through. The Pacific region will send two, and China gets just one spot. It’s a little uneven, but that’s the setup!

All teams qualified for the Game Changers Championship 2025

The teams who have qualified for the 2025 Game Changers Championship, which will be held in Seoul, South Korea from November 20th to 30th, are listed below.

Shopify Rebellion Gold (North America Stage 2 winner)

The team that won the championship the last two years is returning to compete for the title again. They’ve had a very strong year, winning all their tournaments at home and easily qualifying for the championship in Seoul. Most people expect them to win.

Team Liquid Brazil (Brazil Final Stage)

Team Liquid Brazil is a familiar competitor on the world stage. After strong performances – finishing third in 2022 and second in 2023, narrowly losing to Shopify Rebellion – they’re determined to win this year. Having already dominated domestically with three championship titles, they’re focused on finally securing the Game Changers Championship, a title that has remained out of reach.

Karmine Corp GC (EMEA Circuit Points #2)

Despite finishing fourth in the recent Game Changers EMEA Stage 3 tournament, Karmine Corp has earned a spot in the Game Changers Championship thanks to the points they accumulated throughout the season. This will be the team’s first time competing at the Championship, and they’re determined to make it a run to remember after winning two national championships.

GIANTX GC (EMEA Circuit Points #3)

I’ve been seriously impressed with GIANTX GC since they formed in 2024! They’re bursting with talent, and even though they haven’t won a big domestic championship yet, they’ve come so close – three times finishing second! Two of those were really tough losses to Karmine Corp GC, and another to G2 Gozen. They didn’t quite perform how they wanted at Game Changers 2024, but I know they’re hungry to show everyone what they can do and make some amazing plays at this year’s Championship. I’m really excited to see what they bring!

Xipto GC (Pacific #1)

Xipto GC is a relatively new team, formed in 2024, that quickly made a name for itself with strong performances. They won three championships domestically in their first year and placed fourth at the 2024 Game Changers Championship. This year, they continued their success by winning the VCT 2025: Game Changers Pacific tournament, beating Ninetails, who will also compete at the Championship.

Ninetails (Pacific #2)

Ninetails, a Korean team, has quickly become a major force, winning 21 matches in a row since they started competing in 2025. Now, playing on their home turf, they’re eager to show the world what they can do at the 2025 Game Changers Championship.

KRÜ Blaze has quickly become the top team in their region. Since forming in 2022, they’ve consistently won competitions, earning four national championships. Now, they’re aiming to compete internationally and show the world what they’re capable of, hoping to achieve greater success than they have before on the global stage.

Nova Esports GC (China Stage 2)

Nova Esports GC’s qualification for the Game Changers Championship is unexpected, as they hadn’t previously been a top team in their region. After failing to qualify for the main tournament in 2023 and placing fourth at VCT 2024: Game Changers China, the team completely revamped their strategy for 2025. They then went on to win both of their domestic qualifying stages, securing their first-ever appearance at the Game Changers Championship.

Two spots left

Just two teams are left to qualify for the 2025 Game Changers Championship. The winner of the upcoming VCT 2025: Game Changers EMEA Stage 3 tournament will claim one of those spots, and the final will be between G2 Gozen and Twisted Minds Orchid.

G2 Gozen is a well-established team in the Game Changers series, having won the very first championship in 2022. They’ve consistently performed well, qualifying for every championship since and always finishing in the top three. Their opponents, Twisted Minds Orchid, are newcomers to the international stage, which adds even more excitement to this important match. Now, the question is: which team will earn the last qualifying spot for the 2025 Game Changers Championship?

Across the Atlantic, three teams are competing for the final spot at the 2025 Game Changers Championship: MIBR GC, Akave Esports Black, and Wadadaa. The deciding matches will take place on November 2nd.
