The format of Pacific LCQ will be a modified double-elimination bracket where the teams are seeded based on their rankings in VCT Pacific League.

Rex Regum Qeon and Global Esports will face off against each other in the next knockout match where the winner will proceed to the next round against ZETA Division. The winners of the first match (Talon Esports vs. DFM) will play against Gen.G. The victor will proceed to the next round against Team Secret.

After the first three knockout matches, the tournament will follow a double-elimination bracket where teams will get another life in the lower bracket. Since Team Secret and ZETA Divison ended their league run in a higher position, they will directly start their LCQ journeys in the upper semi-finals.
