The Best Performing Players of VCT Pacific 2025 Stage 1

As VALORANT Champions Tour 2025 - Pacific Stage 1 wrapped up, fans were treated to a spectacular conclusion. Rex Regum Qeon etched their name in the history books with a 3-1 victory over Gen.G Esports in the grand final, lifting their first-ever trophy in VALORANT and securing a playoff slot at the upcoming VALORANT Champions Tour 2025 - Masters Toronto 2025, starting June 7th.

This moment was not only a milestone for the team but also for the Indonesian VALORANT scene, as RRQ’s triumph marked the first time the region has claimed such an achievement.

While the season was packed with nail-biting series and shocking upsets, a handful of players consistently rose above the chaos. When looking purely at ACS, the firepower of the Pacific region truly comes to light.

RRQ’s Maxim "Jemkin" Batorov led the pack with 253.9, followed by Gen.G’s Kim "t3xture" Na-ra at 244.0 and Team Secret’s Jiggs Adrian "invy" Reyes at 237.2. Their high-impact performances and consistent fragging power were key to their teams’ success, proving they were among the deadliest players in VCT Pacific Stage 1.

But when it comes to the rankings, there is only one metric that people swear by. And that is the Overall Rating. Based on that, these are the five standout performers from VCT Pacific 2025 Stage 1.

1. Maksim "Jemkin" Batorov

Stage 1 stats:

• 1.23 rating
• 253.9 ACS
• 161.3 ADR
• 1.30 K/D

Agents Played: Yoru, Jett, Iso, Brimstone

When talking about RRQ's historic win, it would be incomplete without Maxim "Jemkin" Batorov. The Russian fragger is one of the oldest players on the squad, just after David "Xffero" Monangin, and he plays like he means business. In RRQ's playoffs run, jemkin was consistently at the top of the kill-feed. The duelist would constantly tear apart defences, and always put his team on the front foot whenever required.

2. Adrian "invy" Reyes

Stage 1 stats:

• 1.22 Rating
• 237.2 ACS
• 158.4 ADR
• 1.27 K/D

Agents Played: Breach, Cypher, KAY/O, Omen, Vyse

Although Team Secret had a poor run during Stage 1, this did not stop Jiggs Adrian "invy" Reyes from putting up one of the best performances of his life. Even when Team Secret were on the losing side, unless the entire map was a washout, invy was consistently at the top of the charts, out-performing his teammates, and at times, even outperforming the opposition, as can be seen in their matches against ZETA DIVISION and TALON.

3. Dastan "dos9" Zhumagali

Stage 1 stats:

• 1.19 Rating
• 212.2 ACS
• 136.3 ADR
• 1.18 K/D

Agents Played: Omen, Astra, Brimstone, Viper, Iso

BOOM Esports surprised everyone this season when they went 5-0 in the group stage of what was their first ever outing in the VCT Pacific league. And this was in no small part due to the outstanding performances by Dastan "dos9" Zhumagali. Representing the entire country of Kazakhstan in Tier 1 VALORANT, dos9 did his country proud.

Although it is rare for a controller player to make their way into the top flight, his performances throughout the group stages have proved that roles don’t matter much as long as you’re fragging out. If BOOM had a decent playoffs showing, he might’ve been even higher on this list.

4. Jason "f0rsakeN" Susanto

Stage 1 stats:

• 1.17 Rating
• 226.8 ACS
• 143.4 ADR
• 1.18 K/D

Agents Played: Yoru, Neon, Waylay, Fade, Omen, Vyse, Killjoy, Sova

The Prince of Pacific himself, no top players list of the Pacific region would feel complete without the inclusion of Jason "f0rsakeN" Susanto. As evident from his played agents list, f0rsaken is a flex player like no other, picking up whatever role his team needs him in, and he never disappoints.

Even when PRX are underperforming, f0rsaken is always at the forefront, carrying his team out of sticky situations. This was most evident in their Lower Bracket match against RRQ, where he and jemkin both put up an incredible 94 kills in the Bo5 series.

5. Kim "t3xture" Na-ra

Stage 1 stats:

• 1.16 Rating
• 244.0 ACS
• 154.8 ADR
• 1.21 K/D

Agents Played: Jett, Neon, Raze, Yoru

Over the last year, Gen.G’s iconic duelist Kim "t3xture" Na-ra has solidified himself as one of the best the Pacific region has ever seen. An irreplaceable part of the iconinc team that delivered the Pacific region their first international trophy at VCT 2024 - Masters Shanghai, t3xture has managed to keep his amazing performances consistent. Delivering incredible 4K’s, and always pushing ahead for his team, t3xture is one of the rare cases in esports where he has just been getting better with age.

Honorable Mentions:

Honorable mentions go to Wang "Jinggg" Jing Jie from PRX, Hyun-min " HYUNMIN" Song from DRX, and Kim "Karon" Won-tae from Gen.G. While they narrowly missed out on the top five, their performances throughout Stage 1 firmly place them among the region’s best.

Representing some of the most dominant teams in the Pacific, each player delivered consistently impactful showings that were crucial to their team’s success. Their presence in the top 10 comes as no surprise. They've proven time and again why their squads continue to be powerhouses in the region.

VCT Pacific 2025 Stage 1 showcased not just RRQ's historic win, but the rise of elite talent across the region. With Masters Toronto approaching, these standout players are just getting started.
