The Pacific region’s best all-women and marginalized-gender VALORANT teams are set to clash in Bali this September, with a ticket to the Game Changers Championship in Sao Paulo on the line. Eight squads from Korea, Japan, Southeast Asia, Oceania, and South Asia will battle it out from September 14-20, and while there’s no live audience this time, the action streams free across multiple regional channels.

Only two teams walk away with a global qualification spot — making this one of the most high-stakes weeks on the Game Changers calendar.

## Format Breakdown

The tournament runs on a double-elimination bracket spread across seven days. Brackets are seeded using prior competitive results, and organizers have ensured opening-round matches avoid same-region pairings — so no early SEA-vs-SEA showdowns. The two finalists earn their spot at the Game Changers Championship, VALORANT’s premier tournament for the Game Changers ecosystem, a competitive format similar in spirit to other regional splits seen across [esports](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esports).
