Following a year of regional competitions, the VALORANT Game Changers Championship (GCC) 2025 is right around the corner.
From November 20th to 30th, fans can witness top-tier competition, earn in-game viewer rewards and tune into a special showmatch.
Since 2022, VALORANT Game Changers, the game’s esports circuit for women and other marginalised genders, has hosted its annual global Championship.
VALORANT Game Changers Championship 2025 Teams
For this year’s edition, 10 teams have qualified through their regional Game Changers leagues across EMEA, Americas and Asia Pacific:
- G2 Gozen (EMEA Stage 3)
- GIANTX GC (EMEA Circuit Points)
- Karmine Corp GC (EMEA Circuit Points)
- Shopify Rebellion Gold (NA Stage 2)
- Team Liquid Brazil (Brazil Final Stage)
- KRÜ Blaze (LATAM Regional Final)
- MIBR GC (Americas LCQ)
- Xipto GC (Pacifc #1)
- Ninetails (Pacific #2)
- Nova Esports GC (China Stage 2)
Among them are inaugural Game Changers champion G2 Esports, as well as back-to-back trophy winner Shophy Rebellion Gold. However, up-and-coming rosters such as Karmine Corp and MIBR might be able to topple the giants.
Game Changers Championship 2025: Format & Schedule
Taking place in Seoul’s LoL Park, the Game Changers Championship 2025 will kick off on November 20th with the first Upper Bracket series between Ninetails and Nova Esports.
All qualified teams start in the upper half of the event’s double-elimination bracket. But the most recent regional champions have directly advanced to the Upper Bracket Quarterfinals, skipping the first round of matches.
Moreover, teams from the same region have been placed on opposite sides of the bracket to ensure numerous international matchups.
All matches start at 8 AM BST and are played as best-of-threes (BO3s), except for the best-of-five (BO5) Lower Bracket Final and Grand Final.
Game Changers Championship 2025: Drops & How to Watch
This year, Game Changers fans can once again earn in-game rewards by tuning into the official Twitch or YouTube broadcasts as well as official co-streams.
While the ‘GO OFF’ title can be secured by watching between November 20th and 29th, the ‘KAY/O PUNCH’ spray is only available during the Grand Final on November 30th.
A full list of co-streamers will be revealed in the coming weeks. Those wanting to witness Game Changers action in person can check out the dedicated webpage for ticket sale information.
In addition to the in-game rewards, VALORANT has also announced a Game Changers Championship merch collection and a special showmatch. More details about the showmatch are expected to follow soon.
