Riot Games has announced its latest music anthem for Stage 2 of VCT Pacific, VALORANT’s top-tier league for the APAC region.
In collaboration with a Japanese rapper and singer Yuki Chiba, the song — ‘Shinpai Muyou’ (‘No need to worry’) — will be released on all streaming platforms on July 11th.
Released by Coup D’Etat Recordings, the anthem marks Yuki Chiba’s first collaboration in the gaming and esports space. Said to feature upbeat drums and a bouncy bassline, the song will also have a music video posted on the VCT Pacific YouTube channel on the same day of its release.
The Japanese artist has been chosen as the VCT Pacific grand final roadshow will head to Japan for the first time ever at the end of August.
“’Shinpai Muyou’ is a reminder to myself and my fans to not worry and always believe in yourself. There’s no need to stress when you can just vibe,” said artist Yuki Chiba.
VCT Pacific Stage 2 is All Set
Stage 2 is set to begin on July 15th in Seoul, South Korea, at the Sangam Colosseum in Seoul. Paper Rex is returning to the region as the latest VCT Masters champion, having defeated Fnatic in the grand final, with strong performances throughout the tournament.
The results from the second split will determine the teams representing the region at the season-end VALORANT Champions Tour, which will take place in Paris, France.
The top two teams from Stage 2 playoffs will be the first two seeds, while the third and fourth slots will be awarded based on the total Championship points scored during the season.
Based on the standings after VCT Masters Toronto, the top teams in VCT Pacific are Paper Rex, T1, Gen.G Esports, Rex Regum Qeon, and DRX, with the last two tied at eight points each. Only the top four teams at the end of Stage 2 will be awarded championship points.
