What is Flex in Valorant?

Flex items in Valorant are handheld cosmetics that can be equipped and displayed during matches. They function as a mix between sprays and melee weapons, enabling players to show off their style. These items can be accessed anytime—from the buy phase to intense firefights – letting players make a statement without affecting gameplay performance.

Unlike weapons or utility tools, Flex items do not provide any competitive advantage. They are purely aesthetic and visible to other players, although animations are only visible in first-person view.

How to Equip and Use Flex Items

Flex items can be added to a player’s inventory through the Collections menu. Players can assign up to four Flex items to their Spray wheel, making them easy to use during matches. However, equipping a Flex item doesn’t boost player movement speed, maintaining fairness in competitive gameplay.

How to Get Flex Items in Valorant

When players update Valorant to version 10.0 and log in, they receive a complimentary Flex item in their collection. Additionally, a premium Flex item is included in the paid tier of the Season 2025 // Act 1 Battle Pass.

While details about future releases remain unclear, Riot Games is expected to introduce more Flex items through upcoming Battle Passes, exclusive bundles, and the accessory store. Players should keep an eye on updates to expand their Flex collection.

Are Flex Items Pay-to-Win?

No, Flex items are purely cosmetic and do not impact gameplay mechanics or provide any strategic advantage. Riot Games has assured players that Flex items maintain Valorant’s competitive integrity, as movement speed with these items is the same as with abilities rather than melee weapons.

The introduction of Flex in Valorant brings a fun and expressive dimension to the game, allowing players to flaunt their style while maintaining competitive fairness. Whether you’re looking to collect free Flex items or unlock premium designs, this new cosmetic category offers exciting customization options for every Valorant fan.

Stay tuned for future updates and Battle Passes to expand your collection of Flex items and showcase your unique personality on the battlefield!

The highly anticipated event, which is set to kick off on January 17th, will feature eight elite LoL teams from the Asia-Pacific region, showcasing a mix of four “Partner” teams and four “Guest” teams.

In this article, we will take a look at everything you need to know about the upcoming LCP 2025 season, including its participating teams, schedule, and livestreams.

LCP 2025 Teams

Riot Games has confirmed that League of Legends Championship Pacific 2025 will include the following teams:

• CTBC Flying Oyster (Partner)
• Fukuoka SoftBank HAWKS Gaming (Partner)
• GAM Esports (Partner)
• Talon (Partner)
• DetonatioN FocusMe (Guest)
• MGN Vikings Esports (Guest)
• Team Secret Whales (Guest)
• The Chiefs Esports Club (Guest)

LCP 2025 Format

This Split will be split into two phases—Regular Season and Playoffs.

Regular Season: The Regular Season will kick off with the group stage. The teams’ performances from Mid Season will determine their respective seedings in the Season Finals, but the match record will be reset.

The teams will be split into two groups—Contender and Breakout, with the former consisting of the top four teams while the latter includes the bottom four. The two groups will then have to play through a Single Round-Robin best-of-three format to determine the first round of standings.

Following this, the groups will be reshuffled via a group breaker and the Group Seeding Bracket will begin. The group breaker will see the 4th placed team from the Contender Group facing off against the 1st placed team from the Breakout Group, and so on, with all matchups played in a (BO3) format. Winning teams from this group breaker will join the Contender Group while the losing teams join Breakout. 

The two groups will then have to battle it out in a Double-elimination format. All teams from the Contender group will advance to the Season Finals Playoff, but only the teams with two wins from the Breakout group will proceed.

Playoffs: The playoffs will see the remaining six teams go through a series of BO3s and BO5s in a Double-Elimination format in attempts to qualify for Worlds 2025. The team that reigns supreme will be crowned as the first LCP champion.

Promotion & Relegation

Two types of Guest spots will be available during the Promotion & Relegation tournament:

● Free-for-All (FFA): The lowest-placed Guest team in LCP 2025 will have to compete in the FFA Guest spot against a team from participating Wild Card regions and other qualified teams from existing domestic leagues.

● Regional Merit: Once the FFA concluded, the second LCP Guest team for the Regional Merit spot will be based on the following priority:

1. If multiple Guest teams from the same home region remain, the lower-ranked Guest team from that region will participate in the P&R.

2. If the remaining Guest teams represent different home regions, the Guest team with the second-lowest ranking in the LCP, regardless of home region, will take part in the Promotion & Relegation tournament.

Teams from the domestic league competing for the Regional Merit slot will not be eligible for the FFA slot. Guest teams that qualify for Worlds in the same year will also be excluded from the tournament.

LCP 2025 Schedule

Below, we have included the week 1 match lineups for LCP 2025, as confirmed by Riot:

If the leak proves accurate, Tejo will join the Valorant roster as the seventh Initiator alongside Sova, Breach, Skye, KAY/O, Fade, and Gekko.

Where is Tejo From in Valorant?

Based on the teasers we have seen so far, it’s likely that Tejo hails from the country of Colombia, aligning with earlier leaks that hinted at his origins.

The news was announced in an X (formerly Twitter) post by the official Falcons Esports handle, accompanied by a video welcoming the 27-year-old to the team.

“Really happy to get the best rifler on board this team,” Falcons head coach Danny “⁠zonic⁠” Sørensen said in a statement. “Hopefully one day I am right behind him when he lifts that major trophy.”

This move marks the end of an era as NiKo bids farewell to G2 esports after a remarkable four-year journey with the organization.

During his time with G2, NiKo enjoyed significant success, securing six big titles and earning an MVP award at IEM Cologne, solidifying his legacy as one of the best players in the Counter-Strike scene.

At Falcons, NiKo will join forces with Emil “⁠Magisk⁠” Reif and three yet-to-be-revealed teammates, with the ultimate goal of securing his first Major title.

Fans can catch the new Falcons roster in action when they make their debut at the upcoming BLAST Bounty on January 12, 2025.

With new strategies, revamped formats, and intense rivalries set to unfold, there are certain pro players who are certain to make a huge impact in the upcoming VCT season.

Valorant Pros To Watch Out for in 2025

Below, we’ve listed the top 5 Valorant pros that you should follow heading into the upcoming VCT season.

Derke

A mainstay in the European Valorant scene, Nikita “Derke” Sirmitev has been a force to reckon with since the early days of the shooter. Known for his impeccable aim and aggressive playstyle, the Finnish player has consistently performed at the highest levels in the VCT. Derke is set to compete in the VCT 2025 season with Team Vitality, having joined the roster in mid-2024.

Aspas 

Brazilian Valorant star Erick “aspas” Santos is undoubtedly one of the most consistent players in the Latin American scene. During his time with Leviatán Esports in 2024, the 21-year-old managed to land a third-place finish in Valorant Champions 2024 after winning the VCT 2024 Americas Stage 2. Prior to that, he was part of the Champions 2022-winning squad of LOUD.

Boaster

As the IGL of Fnatic, Jake “Boaster” Howlett is not only known for his tactical approach to the game but also for his extraordinary marksmanship skills. The 29-year-old has been a part of the Fnatic Valorant roster since early 2021 and will continue with the team heading into the 2025 VCT season. Despite securing first place in the VCT EMEA 2024 Stage 2, the organization failed to maintain its momentum and got eliminated in the lower bracket quarterfinals of Champions 2024 after a heartbreaking defeat to Sentinels. 

Mako

Over the past year, DRX has solidified its status as one of the top teams in the APAC esports scene, with one of the key players driving this success being Kim “MaKo” Myeong-kwan. Mako’s aggressive playstyle and ability to make decisive plays in high-pressure situations establish him a standout player heading into the next VCT season.

Benjyfishy

To call Benjy “benjyfishy” Fish a Valorant prodigy would be an understatement. The 20-year-old has established himself as one of the top players in the scene over the past year, consistently delivering masterful performances on the biggest stages. Benjyfishy played a pivotal role in helping Team Heretics secure a second-place finish at Masters Shanghai 2024 and came agonizingly close to victory, narrowly losing to EDG in the grand finals of Champions 2024.

From veteran players with years of FPS experience to rising stars ready to take the spotlight, the VCT 2025 season is certain to be packed with talent. Whether it’s through their raw mechanical skill, game sense, or leading the team from the IGL role, the players mentioned in this list are likely to have dominant performances at the upcoming Valorant tournaments in 2025.
