VCT Pacific Stage 2 Busan Finals 4-6 Sept 2026: Malaysia MYT
Published: 2026-09-01
Sajik Arena in Busan hosts the last four VCT Pacific Stage 2 matches from 4 to 6 September 2026, and Malaysia lands in a friendly GMT+8 slot for every one of them (all times below MYT unless stated). Paper Rex and Nongshim RedForce have already locked their Champions Shanghai 2026 seats. Rex qualified first globally on 22 Championship Points; Nongshim followed via points after a 2-1 win over Gen.G. Two Pacific tickets stay up for grabs this weekend. If Yamato of TODAK, Selangor Red Giants fans or any Malaysian esports crowd want to know the real Petaling Jaya wake-up time before first pistol round, REDX Game keeps the ringgit-friendly VP prep and the Busan bracket in one place.
Sajik Arena weekend: three teams still fight for a Pacific seat
Paper Rex tumbled to the lower bracket after a 0-2 defeat by Nongshim RedForce in Upper Round 1 on 26 August. Rex answered with a 2-1 win over VARREL on 29 August, punching a lower-bracket ticket to Busan itself. Boleh tahan, considering the roster juggled a Champions Points cushion the whole tournament.
The remaining Sajik quartet plays for two direct Champions Shanghai berths (seeds via placement), plus two more via the Championship Points table. That means a team can lose in Busan and still fly to Shanghai if the maths line up. Rex, Nongshim, Gen.G Esports, DRX and T1 all sit inside that window; as Sheepesports' Shanghai tracker puts it, "Paper Rex became the first team globally to secure a Champions spot" through runner-up finishes at Masters Santiago and London plus the Pacific Stage 1 title. Only the fourth-place finisher's fate hinges on the last serve of ringgit-side calculators.

Busan schedule for Malaysian fans (4–6 Sept, MYT)
VCT Pacific has run its studio slot at 4 PM KST for most Stage 2 broadcast days, which drops to 3 PM MYT after the one-hour Korea-Malaysia gap. Riot has not published minute-exact Busan times yet, so treat these as the historical anchor rather than a locked schedule. Confirm on valorantesports.com the morning of.
- Friday 4 Sept: Upper Bracket Final (Bo5). Typical first serve 3 PM MYT. Winner locks Pacific seed 1 for Shanghai.
- Saturday 5 Sept: Lower Bracket Final (Bo5). Typical first serve 3 PM MYT. Winner meets the UBF champion Sunday.
- Sunday 6 Sept: Grand Final (Bo5). Typical first serve 3 PM MYT. Trophy lifted at Sajik.
The gymnasium seats about 14,099 for basketball, per the Sajik Arena page. Doors open about 90 minutes before first map for ticket holders in Dongnae-gu. Every other Malaysian watches on the official YouTube and Twitch feeds. Tak perlu tunggu lama between series either. Bo5 finals usually wrap in 5 to 6 hours max.
Patch 13.04 map pool: Abyss returns, Breeze rotates out
Busan Finals lock into the Act 5 pool that patch 13.04 pushed live on 18 August 2026: Abyss, Ascent, Bind, Haven, Lotus, Split and Sunset. Breeze is out. That single swap is the whole story for Busan comps. Nongshim leaned into Breeze anti-strats through Stage 1, and now those pistol drills go into cold storage. Gen.G, who ran a top-three Abyss composition when the map first launched, quietly benefit.
Coach-level detail: veto order this Stage 2 has been sides-first, ban-second, pick-third, remaining-ban, decider. Same as Masters London. Malaysian scrim groups running mock brackets should mirror that in their weekend queues. REDX Game community regulars around Kuala Lumpur have already been queuing the same Abyss and Sunset picks in casual so pre-Busan practice matches the studio pool.
VP maths before Champions: what to load up on
Watch rewards for the Busan weekend tie into the wider Champions Points system, and any Valorant Champions 2026 bundle drop lands about two weeks after Busan wraps, so loading the account now beats the inevitable Sunday-evening rush after the trophy lift. Three practical VP tiers cover the realistic bundle rumours and the pistol-round title cosmetics, and the ringgit gap against Apple's App Store is real across each one. 1,000 VP costs RM 30 at REDX Game versus RM 33.90 on the App Store, a small but visible RM 3.90 saving that scales as the tier climbs.
Step up one bracket and 2,175 VP prints as RM 69 on our Malaysia storefront against RM 79 on the App Store. The mid 5,350 VP tier that shadows any leaked Champions bundle sits at RM 187 versus RM 199 App Store, which reflects Apple's 30% platform cut that the direct top-up route sidesteps entirely. Add the smallest tier if all you want is the Champions title cosmetic; the 5,350 VP tier covers most of the Champions bundle rumours (Phantom plus accessories, around 6,100 VP historical). Delivery lands 1 to 3 minutes over DuitNow QR or TnG eWallet, the same rails Kuala Lumpur players used all through Masters Santiago and London top-ups on the Valorant Malaysia page.
Soalan lazim penonton Malaysia
Pukul berapa Grand Final Busan mula di Malaysia?
Riot belum umum masa rasmi. Slot studio VCT Pacific selalunya 4 PM KST, bermakna 3 PM MYT di Kuala Lumpur, Petaling Jaya, Johor Bahru dan Kuching. Sahkan pada laman valorantesports.com pagi Sunday.
Adakah Paper Rex sudah layak ke Champions Shanghai?
Ya. Rex locked in on 22 Championship Points — first team globally to qualify. Perlawanan Busan menentukan seed sahaja untuk mereka, bukan kelayakan.
Berapa slot Pacific yang tinggal untuk Champions 2026?
Dua. Rex dan Nongshim RedForce dah confirm. Baki dua tempat pergi kepada pemenang playoff Sajik dan the highest remaining Championship Points team.
Adakah patch 13.05 keluar sebelum Grand Final?
Tidak dijangka. Riot lazimnya tak drop patch tengah international-tier finals. Busan mainkan patch 13.04 map pool sepenuhnya.
Bila leaked Champions 2026 skin bundle keluar untuk beli?
Bocoran industri sebut sekitar 16 September 2026, kira-kira seminggu sebelum Champions Shanghai bermula 24 September. Top up VP awal-awal di REDX Game untuk elakkan payment queue ketika drop.
Adakah watch rewards aktif untuk Malaysian viewers?
Ya, kalau akaun Riot linked ke akaun Twitch dan tengok siaran rasmi. Twitch drops history menunjukkan gun buddies plus title untuk siaran Bo5 penuh.
Watch party notes for KL and PJ
Malaysian fan crews around Bandar Utama, Sunway Pyramid, KL Sentral and Jalan Alor lean on the 3 PM MYT first-serve to plan a late lunch-then-match run, and REDX Game usually sees a spike in Valorant top-ups in that same window. Grand Final Sunday overlaps with prime esports cafe hours in Petaling Jaya. Selangor Red Giants supporters have posted meet-ups on X for past Pacific finals, and the Yamato of TODAK community has run drop-in scrims parallel to broadcast. Georgetown, Ipoh, Shah Alam and Kuching viewers get the same 3 PM slot. Memang best kalau boleh sync a friend group before pistol round.
Two last practical bits from the REDX Game queue: top up before doors open in Busan (the queue-free MYT window sits at 1 to 3 PM), and if you want the leaked Champions bundle on drop day, prep the 5,350 VP tier plus a 1,000 VP top-off in one session so nothing snags mid-Bo5. Every ringgit saved beats an App Store surcharge, and no minute lost to a Sunday-evening payment retry ever comes back to help you spectate the trophy lift.
