VCT Pacific Final: Top Up Valorant in Malaysia, May 2026
Published: 2026-05-18
Paper Rex Reach the Stage 1 Final With a Malaysian IGL Calling Shots
Paper Rex took the Grand Final stage at Ho Chi Minh City's Thiskyhall Sala on 17 May 2026, the climax of VCT Pacific Stage 1, and Khalish "d4v41" Rusyaidee, the squad's Malaysian in-game leader, made the call sheet from his Petaling Jaya roots all the way to a packed 5,000-seat hall against Full Sense.
PRX entered the bracket as one of Group Alpha's runaway leaders. d4v41 earned MVP honours in the team's 2-1 lower-bracket victory over DRX, and dropped 22 kills in a hard-fought series against Global Esports. Stage 1 itself spanned 7 to 17 May, and three Masters London qualification slots rode on the result. You can track every map outcome on the official Liquipedia VCT Pacific Stage 1 bracket.
Anchored by a regional roster — Jinggg (Singapore), f0rsakeN (Indonesia), something (Russia), invy (Philippines) — the team's pink-and-navy identity now carries a Malaysian face at the highest tier of competitive Valorant. d4v41's IGL contract through 2025 gave PRX a stable caller after their Masters Toronto title run last year.

For Malaysian Valorant players watching from Shah Alam or Kuching, the timing is unusual. A regional final with one of their own holding the comms on a Stage 1 weekend that, for once, did not overlap with FFWS or MPL MY S17 finals night. The result was quieter ranked queues in Johor and Penang, with peak-time waits running roughly 30 seconds shorter than the usual prime-time crawl.
REDX Game sees the same pattern every Pacific weekend: a measurable spike in Valorant top up Malaysia orders during finals weekends. Players want the new bundle or the battle pass tier now, not after queueing 40 minutes at a foreign-currency checkout that may or may not clear an FPX redirect.
d4v41's Style Tells You Something About the Pacific Meta
d4v41's job is not to top fragging boards. It is to make the call that lets the four around him do exactly that. Paper Rex uses a distributed calling system, where any player with first contact or fresh information takes the comms. d4v41 sits at the centre of that web. He plays the IGL slot nominally, but the trigger is whoever sees the threat first.
That style suits the current Pacific meta. Patch 12.09 reshaped the duelist and shotgun roles, with Neon receiving notable mobility cuts and the Bucky and Judge seeing reduced spray accuracy in close-range duels. Teams that lean on rigid mid-round calls struggled against the patch. Paper Rex's improvisational rhythm did not. Over five playoff matches, PRX averaged a first-blood differential of +1.32, the highest among advancing teams.
A worked example: in the lower-bracket match against DRX, d4v41 read the Korean side's mid-control attempt on Ascent's B Heaven and rotated his teammate something off A Long for a flank that produced two free picks and a forced timeout. That single round, replayed across Malaysian Discords by 9pm, captured why a 26-year-old from PJ has a roster spot on a championship-calibre squad. Memang best.
Compare that to Malaysia's local Valorant ladder. VCL Malaysia teams typically build around static A-site executes, often heavy on Killjoy and Cypher utility. PRX's reads-based defence is the model the Malaysian tier-2 scene is now copying, and the impact is visible. MY teams averaged a 14% higher post-plant retake rate in April's VCL split, up from 9% the season before.
If you are a Malaysian player grinding ranked between Immortal and Radiant, the lesson is not to copy his crosshair placement. Copy his pacing instead, because the round-economy advantage compounds when you give your duelists an extra second to read the rotation before committing. Slow the round. Let the lurkers report. The fragger you envy on stream is usually the one who got the cleanest info first.
For top-up planning, that translates into a simple rule: do not buy the next battle pass tier mid-tournament. Wait until the patch settles and the agent pool stabilises. The cosmetic you regret buying is usually the one bought during a 2am hype window, and order data across Malaysian resellers consistently shows roughly 38% of impulse skin purchases happen within four hours of a major patch.
The Real MYR Per-VP Math Most Players Skip
Valorant Points are priced in five tiers on the Malaysian store, and each tier carries a different per-VP cost. Most players default to the 1,000 VP pack out of habit. The math says they should not.
Here is the ladder, drawn from Riot's authorised Malaysia VP pricing in May 2026:
PackMYR PricePer-VP MYR
1,000 VPRM 38.90RM 0.0389
2,050 VPRM 75.90RM 0.0370
3,650 VPRM 132.50RM 0.0363
5,350 VPRM 189.00RM 0.0353
11,000 VPRM 378.90RM 0.0345
Buying the 11,000 VP pack costs RM 0.0345 per VP. Buying eleven 1,000 VP packs of comparable total cost runs RM 0.0389 per VP — an 11.4% premium for the same in-game outcome. On a 5,350 VP skin bundle, the gap works out to about RM 23.50 quietly wasted across smaller purchases.
Stack that against the USD-charged route, which is what happens when a Malaysian player buys via a foreign card or a VPN-routed checkout. Riot's international USD pricing converts at roughly RM 4.70 per USD in May 2026:
PackUSDUSD-Converted MYRMY Direct MYRMY Saving
1,000 VP$9.99RM 46.95RM 38.90RM 8.05 (17.1%)
5,350 VP$49.99RM 234.95RM 189.00RM 45.95 (19.6%)
11,000 VP$99.99RM 469.95RM 378.90RM 91.05 (19.4%)
A 19% gap on the larger packs. That is enough to fund a second battle pass or about half the cost of the average Reaver-tier skin in MYR.
This is where REDX Game fits in. Topping up Valorant in Malaysia via the MYR route preserves the regional price floor, settles in DuitNow QR or FPX without FX markup, and pushes VP into the Riot account in 1 to 3 minutes during normal operating hours. Compared with the foreign-card USD route, three savings stack: no FX spread, no card surcharge, no waiting for a manual deposit confirmation.
For a Malaysian player budgeting a full battle pass plus one Premium bundle each Act, the difference across six Acts in a calendar year is around RM 275 saved versus the USD route, or RM 105 saved versus stacking small packs. Boleh tahan.
Quick VP Pack Reference for Malaysia, May 2026
Use this table as a pre-checkout reference. It shows VP, MYR, and the per-VP cost, plus a typical use case for each tier.
PackMYRPer-VPTypical Use
1,000 VPRM 38.90RM 0.0389Single battle pass tier or one Select skin
2,050 VPRM 75.90RM 0.0370Battle pass plus a small bundle filler
3,650 VPRM 132.50RM 0.0363Single Premium bundle, Deluxe tier
5,350 VPRM 189.00RM 0.0353Premium bundle plus battle pass
11,000 VPRM 378.90RM 0.0345Ultra bundle with leftover for next Act
The Kuronami Act 3 bundle, for example, sits at 9,500 VP. Buying the 11,000 VP pack covers it with 1,500 VP left over for the next battle pass tier. Stacking two 5,350 VP packs instead works out roughly RM 11 cheaper on the surface, but that approach locks excess VP that may sit unused for two months until the next battle pass cycle reopens. Plan the spend before the bundle, not after.
Pricing reflects Riot's authorised Malaysia store as of mid-May 2026 and matches what REDX Game's Valorant Malaysia page charges in MYR through DuitNow QR, FPX, Touch 'n Go eWallet, and ShopeePay.
How to Top Up Valorant via REDX in Three Minutes
The flow is short and tested. Five steps, roughly 90 seconds of clicking and 30 seconds of payment settlement.
- Open the product page. Head to the Valorant Malaysia order page from any browser, mobile or desktop. The page lists every MYR VP tier with the current Riot Malaysia pricing.
- Pick your pack. Default to the largest pack that matches your planned spend for the Act. Tak perlu tunggu lama; the per-VP math always favours the bigger tier.
- Enter your Riot ID. Format is name#TAG. Double-check the tag. A successful delivery to the wrong account cannot be redirected after the fact. The Riot ID is case-insensitive, but the tag must match exactly.
- Pay via your preferred Malaysian rail. DuitNow QR settles in under 10 seconds. FPX usually clears in 15 to 30. Touch 'n Go eWallet and ShopeePay both support instant settlement. Visa or Mastercard cards clear within the same window.
- Receive VP in 1 to 3 minutes. During off-peak hours, 3am to 7am local, delivery is closer to 1 minute. On Pacific finals weekends like the 17 May Grand Final, expect the upper end of the window because Riot's regional API throttles slightly under sustained load from competing top-up spikes across SEA.
If the VP does not appear after 5 minutes, the order page has a live chat that connects to REDX Game support. Average first-response time is under 90 seconds during waking hours. Senang gila.
Local Payment Methods That Actually Work Across Malaysia
Different cities, different default wallets. The pattern across Malaysian top-up orders is consistent: Klang Valley players lean Touch 'n Go eWallet, JB and Penang skew DuitNow QR, and Kuching and Kota Kinabalu still see strong FPX volume via Maybank2u and CIMB Clicks.
MethodTypical SettlementBest For
DuitNow QRUnder 10 secAny device, any bank
FPX5 to 15 secMaybank2u, CIMB, Public Bank users
Touch 'n Go eWallet2 to 4 secKlang Valley convenience
ShopeePay3 to 6 secPlayers already inside the wallet
Card (Visa or Mastercard)10 to 30 secInternational cards, contingency
DuitNow QR works across every Malaysian bank app, Bank Islam, RHB, Hong Leong, Affin, the lot. Murah giler compared to the cross-border card surcharge on the USD route, which can add RM 6 to 18 per transaction depending on the issuing bank.
For Sabah and Sarawak players, FPX remains the most reliable rail. Some east-Malaysia bank apps occasionally choke on DuitNow QR codes from peninsula merchants, and a hard refresh seldom fixes it once the QR payload has expired on the bank side. FPX bypasses that entirely by handing off to the bank's hosted page, then returning a clean confirmation token to the merchant. The takeaway: REDX Game accepts every major Malaysian rail. Pick whichever your bank cooperates with on the worst day, not the best, and keep a backup card on file in case your primary wallet hits a maintenance window during a Pacific finals night.
FAQ for Malaysian Valorant Players
Is buying Valorant Points via REDX Game safe for my Riot account?
Yes. REDX Game uses Riot's authorised Malaysia top-up route, with VP credited to the Riot ID provided at checkout. No password handover, no email handover, no boost-service overlap. Account risk is identical to topping up directly through Riot's client.
Can I top up Valorant Points from outside Klang Valley with no delay?
Delivery time is bound by Riot's API, not your physical location. A player topping up from Kuching, Miri, or Ipoh sees the same 1 to 3 minute window as a player in KL or Petaling Jaya. The only variable is your payment method's settlement speed, which is bank-side. DuitNow QR is fastest across regions.
Why is the MYR price cheaper than the USD-equivalent for Valorant Points?
Riot uses regional pricing tied to local purchasing power. Malaysia's VP pricing is set 17 to 20% below the USD-converted equivalent, which is why buying via Malaysian-routed checkout preserves the discount. A foreign-issued card or a VPN-routed checkout typically flips the billing to USD and erases the saving.
Will the REDX MYR pricing match Riot's in-client pricing?
Yes. The MYR-to-VP mapping mirrors Riot's Malaysian store. Where it differs is in payment convenience: the REDX Valorant Malaysia checkout accepts DuitNow QR and Touch 'n Go directly, which Riot's in-client checkout supports only through select wallet integrations and a longer redirect path.
Does the VCT Pacific Stage 1 result affect Valorant pricing in Malaysia?
No. Tournament results have no impact on VP pricing. They do drive demand spikes for newly released agent contracts and bundle skins. The Kuronami Act 3 bundle, for instance, saw roughly a 4x order-volume increase in the 48 hours following Paper Rex's Group Alpha win earlier in Stage 1. Plan around supply, not price.
Can I refund a VP purchase if I bought the wrong pack?
Riot's refund policy applies regardless of where the VP was purchased. VP refunds require the points to be unspent, and the request must be filed within Riot's standard window through the support portal. A delivered VP credit cannot be reversed by a reseller. If the order fails pre-delivery, which sits under 0.2% of orders, the MYR refund processes within 1 to 3 business days back to the original payment method.
What is the fastest combination for a Pacific finals weekend top-up?
DuitNow QR via REDX checkout on the 11,000 VP pack. That combination locks the cheapest per-VP rate, clears in under 10 seconds at the bank end, and lands in the Riot account within 1 to 3 minutes. Total cycle time from product page to in-client confirmation: typically under three minutes.
