VCT Pacific Recap: PRX 3-0 for Malaysian Fans, May 2026
Published: 2026-05-31
Paper Rex closed VCT Pacific Stage 1 with a 3-0 sweep of FULL SENSE on 17 May, and the Sunday Grand Final pulled 533,883 peak concurrent viewers, a Pacific record per Esports Charts. Ten days later, Patch 12.10 dropped Skirmish maps D and E into every Valorant queue. Malaysian fans now juggle two storylines: the road to Masters London, and a ranked grind on ramp-heavy aim arenas. REDX Game is the fastest local route to stockpile VP for both, whether you want the Battle Pass tier or that PRX-themed bundle that surfaces on stream.
The Grand Final scoreline that decided everything
Paper Rex won every map of the Grand Final by at least three rounds, sweeping FULL SENSE 3-0. FULL SENSE entered from the upper bracket with a two-map ban advantage. Pearl fell 13-10. Lotus followed 13-9. Fracture sealed it 13-10. That is a clean three-zero with no map closer than three rounds, and the kind of result that gets f0rsakeN named MVP without debate.
Jason "f0rsakeN" Susanto opened with the duelist board control PRX built their identity on. The Indonesian star pushed contact from Round 1 of every map, forcing FULL SENSE to react instead of execute. Hotspawn called it cleanly:
"Paper Rex Claim VCT Pacific Stage 1 Title In Ho Chi Minh City With 3-0 Over FULL SENSE." — Hotspawn
The win locks PRX into Masters London 6-21 June at Copper Box Arena and the Esports World Cup 2026 in Riyadh. FULL SENSE join them at Masters. For Malaysian fans in KL and Penang, that is two Pacific seeds carrying the SEA flag against EMEA and Americas regions.
Skirmish maps D and E change how you warm up
Skirmish maps D and E introduce vertical ramps for the first time in the mode, breaking the flat-warehouse layout of older Skirmish boxes. Patch 12.10 shipped on 27 May with both arenas live in all queues and custom lobbies. The ramps are designed to mimic the high-low peeking angles that decide real Bind A Short or Haven C duels.
Riot's official Patch 12.10 notes describe the new geometry as a deliberate break from the flat boxes of older Skirmish maps, framing the ramps as practice geometry for real ranked engagements. Boleh tahan, the ramps feel like actual map geometry, not a shooting gallery. A five-stack from Petaling Jaya can run scrim drills on Skirmish D before queueing competitive on Sunset or Icebox at SEA-server peak hours.
Replay friend-sharing also landed in 12.10. Save a clip, share the file ID with a teammate, and they load it in their own client. That matters for Malaysian players coaching under TODAK or any KL-based amateur team. VOD review used to mean late-night screen-share calls over Discord with patchy upload speeds. Now it is a paste-and-go workflow that runs locally.
VP ladder math: REDX vs the Riot direct rail
Across the six VP tiers stocked locally, the per-VP cost ranges from 3.56 sen at 475 VP down to 3.09 sen at 11,000 VP, with the Battle Pass tier landing closest to the median value. The MYR ladder looks like this:
VP PackREDX (MYR)App Store / Riot Direct (MYR)Sen / VP
475 VPRM 16.90RM 23.903.56 sen
1,000 VPRM 33.90RM 47.903.39 sen
2,050 VPRM 67.90RM 95.903.31 sen
3,650 VPRM 117.90RM 159.903.23 sen
5,350 VPRM 174.90RM 239.903.27 sen
11,000 VPRM 339.90RM 479.903.09 sen
The Battle Pass costs 1,000 VP. At REDX Game pricing, that is RM 33.90 versus RM 47.90 through Riot Direct or the App Store, a 29% gap on the single buy most rank-grinders make every Act. Stack that against the Rogue Collection bundle from Patch 12.10 (8,700 VP), and the 11,000 VP pack at RM 339.90 saves roughly RM 140 versus going piecemeal through the Apple rail.
Per-VP cost drops as the tier climbs, but only marginally. The 475 pack costs 3.56 sen per VP. Buying the 11,000 pack drops it to 3.09 sen, a 13% efficiency gain that only pays off if you actually spend 11k VP this Act. Most Malaysian players do not. Battle Pass plus one Premium skin (1,775 VP) is closer to reality, and that fits inside a 2,050 VP buy with change left for the next Night Market rotation.
Top up VP through REDX Game in five steps
REDX Game checks out in five taps and clears most VP orders inside three minutes. The flow is built for one-handed phone use during MRT commutes from Bangsar to KLCC.
- Open redxgame.com/order/game-top-up/valorant-malaysia and select your VP pack.
- Enter your Riot ID and tagline exactly as shown in the Valorant client. Region must match (SEA for Malaysian accounts).
- Pick payment: TNG eWallet, DuitNow QR, FPX online banking, or Boost.
- Confirm in your bank app, then wait for the SMS receipt; delivery clears in roughly 1-3 minutes on completed orders.
- Open Valorant. VP appears in the in-game store. Buy the Battle Pass, the bundle, or stockpile for Masters London skin drops.
If your Riot ID is wrong, the order pauses for manual review. Tak perlu tunggu lama. REDX Game support typically resolves region or tagline mismatches in under 15 minutes during Malaysian business hours, faster than any chargeback workflow on Riot Direct.
What Masters London means for VP timing
Masters London opens a 16-day Riot-themed bundle window between 6 and 21 June, so stockpile VP before the patch drop hits the in-game store. The event runs at Copper Box Arena in East London with Paper Rex, FULL SENSE, and Global Esports carrying the Pacific flag against EMEA hosts FNATIC and Team Heretics. Riot has shipped event-themed bundles around every prior Masters, and 2026 will not break the pattern: expect a London-themed Vandal or Phantom line at minimum, with a Champions-grade collection possible if the event clears prior viewership benchmarks.
The PRX bundle question is real. Paper Rex are the Pacific champions. A team-themed weapon skin during the Champions hype window would not be a stretch. Buying 2,050 VP now at RM 67.90 on REDX Game leaves room for whatever drops while protecting against last-minute App Store markup of around 41% on the equivalent Apple pack.
FAQ: Valorant Pacific, Patch 12.10, and Malaysian VP top-up
When does VCT Masters London 2026 start?
Masters London runs 6-21 June 2026 at Copper Box Arena. Paper Rex and FULL SENSE represent the Pacific region after their Stage 1 final placement.
What happened in the VCT Pacific Stage 1 Grand Final?
Paper Rex swept FULL SENSE 3-0 on 17 May 2026 in Ho Chi Minh City. Map scores: Pearl 13-10, Lotus 13-9, Fracture 13-10. Jason "f0rsakeN" Susanto won MVP.
How much does the Valorant Battle Pass cost in Malaysian Ringgit?
The Battle Pass costs 1,000 VP. Through REDX Game, that is RM 33.90. The App Store or Riot direct rail charges RM 47.90, about 29% more for the same in-game currency.
Are Skirmish maps D and E available in ranked play?
No, because Skirmish maps live in the Skirmish queue and custom games only, working purely as warm-up and aim-training tools while ranked play continues on the standard competitive map pool of Bind, Haven, Split, Ascent, Sunset, Icebox, and Lotus.
Can REDX Game deliver VP fast enough for the Battle Pass deadline?
Yes, the standard promise is 1-3 minute delivery on completed orders, and most Malaysian payment rails like TNG eWallet, DuitNow, and FPX clear inside that window with the VP showing in your Valorant store before the next queue ends.
Will Paper Rex get a themed skin bundle for Masters London?
Riot has not confirmed one. Champions-themed bundles around Masters events have historical precedent, and Paper Rex are now Pacific champions. Treat any leak as unverified until Riot posts officially through their VALORANT Esports channels.
Which payment method is fastest on REDX Game for Malaysian players?
TNG eWallet and DuitNow QR clear in under 90 seconds on average. FPX online banking takes 2-3 minutes depending on the bank. Boost sits between the two on speed, and all four route through the same delivery promise.
