SLT go undefeated to win VCT Ascension Pacific 2025

On the penultimate day of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2025 - Ascension Pacific, SLT Seongnam made history by securing their promotion to the VCT Pacific League 2026. The Korean powerhouse stormed through the tournament without losing a single series, dropping only two maps across both the group and playoff stages – a feat that showcased their dominance and consistency.

A Flawless Group Stage Run

SLT entered the competition as one of Korea’s top representatives and immediately proved their credentials. They finished the group stage with a perfect 4-0 record, conceding only two maps, one each to Motiv Esports and E-KING. Their disciplined tactical setups, aggressive mid-round executions, and near-perfect comms allowed them to outmaneuver their opponents with ease, setting the tone for their playoff run.

With the top seed in hand, SLT cruised through the playoffs in commanding fashion. In the semifinals, they dispatched NAOS Esports with a comfortable 2-0 victory, barely giving their opponents room to breathe. The final was a rematch against BOOM Esports, a team they had already beaten 2-0 in the group stage. This time, the result was even more decisive as SLT swept the Bo5 series 3-0, asserting total domination against the former VCT Pacific side.

Making a Statement Against BOOM

BOOM, who finished second at VCT Ascension Pacific 2024 and earned promotion to the VCT Pacific following the removal of BLEED Esports, were expected to provide strong resistance. Instead, SLT flipped the narrative, proving that the new wave of Korean talent is ready to challenge established names in the region. This triumph not only secures SLT’s 2026 berth but also sends a powerful message ahead of their debut season.

With SLT’s qualification confirmed, the focus now shifts to the final match between BOOM Esports and Nongshim RedForce – the two very teams who ascended to VCT Pacific in 2025. Only one will reclaim their spot among the elite, while SLT prepares for their first appearance alongside the big boys next year.
