VCT 2023: Pacific LeagueTeam Secret and Paper Rex will play in the second round of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Pacific League regular season. Both teams were victorious at the start of the championship, although the Philippine team was not much stronger than their rivals, having given up a card.
