“We aspire to be the most player-focused game company in the world“
The Chinese squad secured the Valorant Champions 2024 trophy in Seoul, South Korea, with an epic 3-2 victory over EMEA squad Team Heretics.
How they Feel?
EDG’s win isn’t just a milestone moment for the team, but also the Chinese region and its players.
It is the first LAN international win for China. It is a fitting reward for the EDG star who broke the total kill score record in a five-game series with 111 total kills in the grand final match against Team Heretics.
League of Legends’ grand global tournament, Worlds, is almost upon us once again, and here’s what you need to know.
The League of Legends World Cup is one of the biggest highlights of the year for esports. Worlds 2024, the most important event of the season for the Riot Games MOBA, will take place in Europe this year, specifically in Germany, France, and the United Kingdom, countries in which the best teams on the planet will compete looking for a place in the finals to be played in London.
Once there, a total of 16 teams, with 14 that are already classified and two that arrive from the Play-In phase to the Swiss phase, which follows a competition system that started at Worlds 2023 and from which eight teams will leave a final phase that starts from quarters.
A Record-Breaking Performance
One of the standout moments of the series was Zheng “ZmjjKK” Yongkang’s incredible performance. He made history by becoming the first player in Valorant’s competitive scene to rack up 111 kills in a BO5 series. His stellar gameplay was instrumental in boosting EDward Gaming to victory.
With EDward Gaming’s victory, the Pacific region remains the only one yet to claim a Valorant Champions title, as EMEA, Americas, and China have now all taken home the trophy, despite China adding a salary cap for Valorant pro-players. The question on everyone’s mind is: will the Pacific region finally get their chance next year? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain—Valorant’s competitive scene is heating up, and every region is looking to boost their standing in the next tournament.
