VCT China 2024 Welcomes Powerhouses: EDG, TYLOO, and Wolves Esports Join the Battle, Unveiling a New Era of Valorant Dominance

EDward Gaming (EDG) is the latest team to officially join the 2024 VCT China league, following the recent confirmation of other prominent organizations, including fellow VCT Champions participant Bilibili Gaming (BLG). Joining the fray alongside EDG are TYLOO and Wolves Esports, marking an exciting expansion of the league's competitive landscape.

EDG: Pioneers of Chinese Valorant Dominance

In the rapidly growing Chinese Valorant scene, EDG has swiftly emerged as the trailblazers, establishing the first dynasty of dominance. Their initial appearance at the 2022 VCT Champions saw them facing formidable competition, exiting in the group stage and securing the 13th-16th position. However, their transformative journey in 2023, particularly at Masters Tokyo, propelled them into the spotlight. EDG's unique playstyle and notable improvements earned them respect, with star player Zheng “ZmjjKK” Yongkang gaining legendary status and global recognition as a potential best OP player in the world.

At the Champions event, EDG continued to impress, achieving a commendable 5th-6th place. Their upward trajectory not only showcased their prowess on the global stage but also highlighted the emergence of a new era of Chinese talent, with teams like BLG contributing to the narrative. EDG solidified their domestic dominance by clinching victory in all three Evolution Series in 2023, cementing their presence in VCT China for 2024.

TYLOO: Early Adopters in Chinese Valorant

Well-known in the Counter-Strike scene, TYLOO has ventured into Valorant, bringing with them a legacy of pioneering success. Despite modest results in the Evolution Series, TYLOO's strong brand and reputation make them a valuable addition to the VCT China league. The organization's ability to attract top-tier talent is expected to significantly contribute to the league's growth.

Wolves Esports: A Powerful New Entrant

Wolves, the first non-LPL team announced, boasts a formidable presence in Call of Duty Mobile esports, securing numerous titles. As the esports division of English football team Wolverhampton Wanderers, Wolves brings expertise from a different esports title, further diversifying the league.

Their well-connected and established presence positions them as a potent threat entering the VCT China league.

In Conclusion

While EDG's entry into VCT China was highly anticipated, their proven success within Valorant positions them as the frontrunners for both commercial and competitive success in the league. TYLOO, despite modest Valorant results, adds strength and depth to the league, leveraging their brand's reputation. Wolves Esports, with a rich history in Call of Duty Mobile, introduces a new dimension to the league, hinting at a promising future for VCT China in terms of team diversity and overall success.
