**Four Pacific squads—Global Esports, Nongshim RedForce, Paper Rex, and T1—enter VALORANT Champions 2026 in separate groups amid a tightly bunched market for the first regional elimination.** Recent VCT Pacific Stage 2 results showed Global Esports claiming the title via a reverse-sweep grand final over Nongshim, while Paper Rex and T1 advanced on Championship Points after inconsistent playoff runs. The double-elimination group stage pits each against strong non-Pacific sides (100 Thieves, NRG, Team Liquid, G2), with opening matches beginning September 24. This even distribution, combined with comparable recent form and no dominant regional favorite, keeps implied probabilities clustered near 50% as traders weigh early map outcomes and potential upsets in Shanghai.

For the purposes of this market, the Pacific teams are the four teams that qualified for VALORANT Champions 2026 through the VCT Pacific league as designated by the organizer, Riot Games: Global Esports, Nongshim RedForce, Paper Rex, and T1. A team is considered eliminated at the moment it can no longer win the tournament: when it loses its Group Stage elimination match or decider match, when it loses a lower bracket match or the Grand Final in the Playoffs, or when it officially withdraws, is disqualified, or is replaced. The Group Stage (September 24 to October 4, 2026) consists of four four-team double-elimination (GSL) groups, with the top two teams from each group advancing to the eight-team double-elimination Playoffs (October 7 to October 18, 2026).
The first team eliminated is the team whose eliminating match concludes first, according to the official match schedule and results. If two or more Pacific teams are eliminated in matches that conclude at the same time, or by the same official announcement, this market will resolve in favor of the team whose listed team name comes first alphabetically.
If VALORANT Champions 2026 is canceled, postponed after November 17, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, or no Pacific team has been eliminated within that timeframe, this market will resolve to "Other". If the first Pacific team eliminated is not listed in this market, this market will resolve to "Other".
The resolution source for this market will be official information from the tournament organizer, Riot Games, via the VALORANT Esports website (https://valorantesports.com). However, a consensus of credible reporting (e.g., Liquipedia at https://liquipedia.net/valorant/VCT/2026/Champions) may also be used.
