VCT Game Changers Championship 2025 Schedule & Format
The 2025 VCT Game Changers Championship takes place from Nov. 20–30, 2025, at LoL Park in Seoul, South Korea. The tournament will follow a double-elimination format, with all matches played as a best-of-three series, except the Lower Bracket Final and Grand Final, which are best-of-five.
The 10 qualified teams will start from the Upper Bracket. However, the top seeds from EMEA (G2 Gozen) and the Americas (Shopify Rebellion Gold) each received a bye directly into Round 2 of the Upper Bracket based on the strength of their region and historical performance.
To balance the bracket, teams were split into three pools based on regional strength. This was decided in a draw conducted live at the Riot Games Arena in São Paulo, Brazil, right after the Americas Last Chance Qualifier Final.
The team pools are as follows:
- Pool 1: Shopify Rebellion Gold and G2 Gozen
- Pool 2: Team Liquid Brazil, Xipto GC, KRÜ Blaze, and Karmine Corp GC
- Pool 3: Ninetails, Nova Esports GC, GIANTX GC, and MIBR GC
To ensure a variety of international matchups, Pool 1 teams are on opposite sides of the bracket. Also, teams from the same region can’t play against each other in the first round.
Schedule
All matches begin at 5 p.m. KST (Seoul) | 9 a.m. CET (Berlin) | 1 a.m. PST (Los Angeles) daily. You can see the full VCT Game Changers Championship 2025 schedule below.

Our Predictions For VCT Game Changers Championship Finals 2025
Here’s who looks most likely to make a deep run at the 2025 VCT Game Changers Championship.
Important: These predictions reflect the perceived strength of teams based on historical trends and the latest available odds. This analysis should not be interpreted as betting advice. Past performance does not guarantee future outcomes. Always gamble responsibly.
Shopify Rebellion Gold
Shopify Rebellion Gold entered GC Champs as the team to beat. They opened at 2.75 (+175) outright with a 36.36% implied chance of taking home the trophy after clinching both NA Stage 1 and Stage 2 titles in convincing fashion.
Now only one match away from a Finals berth, the North American side has carried every bit of that momentum with them. Their upcoming match against Team Liquid Brazil is still theirs to lose, priced at 1.70 (-143) with an implied 58.82% chance of going through.
However, with Noia (arguably the best player in the tournament) putting up a 1.37 rating and a 1.67 KD, Shopify Rebellion Gold chasing a third straight world title feels less like a storyline and more like a sure thing.
Shopify Rebellion Gold roster:
- Alexis “alexis” Guarrasi
- Karnthida “dodonut” Chaisrakeo
- Melanie “meL” Capone (IGL)
- Nicole “Noia” Tierce
- Sarah “sarah” Simpson
- Loic “effys” Sauvageau (Coach)
Team Liquid Brazil
Team Liquid Brazil’s path to the world title now runs through Shopify Rebellion Gold in the Upper Bracket Final. The odds sit at 2.02 (+102), implying only a 49.50% chance on paper. But their latest series against G2 Gozen paints a far more dangerous picture.
The Brazilian side beat EMEA giants G2 Gozen 2–1 (Haven: 13–3, Corrode: 2–13, Split 14–12), powered by a monster performance from IGL daiki, who dropped 52 kills with a 1.42 rating (1.63 KD, 82% KAST). Earlier, they crushed KRÜ Blaze in a dominant 2–0 sweep, thanks to insane performances from daiki and Bizerra.
Despite entering GC Champs with outright odds of 4.33 (+333) and 23.09% implied probability of winning, Team Liquid Brazil is currently the biggest threat to upset Shopify Rebellion Gold. Even if they slip to the Lower Bracket, a revenge match in the Grand Final feels almost inevitable.
Team Liquid Brazil roster:
- Natália “daiki” Vilela (IGL)
- Vitoria “bizerra” Vieira
- Isabeli “isaa” Esser
- Letícia “joojina” Paiva
- Julia “Jelly” Iris
- Caio “napz” Sousa (Coach)
G2 Gozen
After a rocky season, G2 Gozen managed to punch their ticket to Seoul after a convincing 3–0 win over Twisted Orchid at EMEA Stage 3, backed by outright odds of 5.00 (+400) and 20.0% implied.
Their opening win against Nova Esports GC inspired hope, with Vania, Petra, and 16-year-old prodigy Akita all delivering mesmerizing performances. However, that momentum was soon snuffed out by Team Liquid Brazil, who punished their double-Duelist comp and exposed cracks in their defenses.
While they enter the Lower Bracket Quarterfinal against MIBR GC with odds of 1.68 (-147) in their favor, a clear path to the Finals will be challenging, especially with the likes of Karmine Corp GC and KRÜ Blaze trailing close behind.
G2 Gozen roster:
- Michaela “mimi” Lintrup (IGL)
- Amy “amy” Lai
- Aleyna “Vania” Keskin
- Esllene “Akita” Xu
- Petra “Petra” Stoker
- Drew “DrewSpark” Spark-Whitworth (Coach)
Can Shopify Rebellion Gold Three-Peat?
Shopify Rebellion Gold has been on a tear, but do they have enough firepower to defend their title a third time? Only time will tell. With rising threats from EMEA and Brazil, the historic three-peat won’t be easy. To make the most of the VCT Game Changers Championship Finals, back your predictions at Thunderpick.
