All 10 organizations that will compete in the Valorant Champions Tour (VCT) Pacific League have locked in their initial rosters for the 2023 season, as the game enters its first year of franchising.
Earlier in September, Riot Games revealed a list of 30 teams that will be competing in the franchised leagues. Ten teams each from the Americas, EMEA, and Pacific will compete within their region in a league setup to qualify for major events like the Masters and Champions later on in the season.
With the 2023 VCT season scheduled to begin with the Kickoff tournament in February, all partnered teams were required to submit their initial rosters by October 18, 2022, with the final roster submission dated for February 1, 2023.
