You can ask me anything about VCT CN and so on

Unfortunately, it does seem to be the case at the moment, but there have emerged teams capable of defeating or coming close to defeating EDG. I believe this mirrors the 2023 FNC situation where other coaches in the region weren’t sufficiently skilled. As an advocate for linguistic cohesion in FPS esports, I prioritize recruiting foreign coaches like Erik over importing players. Foreign coaches could focus on post-match analysis and strategic refinement, while Chinese coaches handle in-game adaptation and real-time adjustments. This division of expertise would create more compelling narratives for promotional content.

The actual number of active players is far fewer than what the roster suggests. Since AG hasn't officially announced departures of certain players, media outlets can't definitively remove them from public rosters — for instance, Bunt and Monk appear to have quietly left the team. Some listed "players" are merely placeholders, such as manager Xiyiji, who was temporarily added to the roster earlier this year due to sudden organizational issues that nearly left AG short of minimum participation requirements. Additionally, short-term contracted player TZH has already departed. AG's current core lineup primarily consists of academy trainees like K1ra, Hanche, and Bai.

Because Berlin's loved ones died. Additionally, his vague stance on certain political issues in 2024 and controversial champions predictions — notably ranking other Chinese teams fourth while placing FPX first — drew significant backlash, especially after EDG ultimately won the championship. His performance had also declined noticeably this year. since 2023, he was reportedly taking antidepressants. With FPX failing to achieve meaningful competitive breakthroughs during his tenure, Berlin opted to step away from professional play. However, he left the door open for a potential return, telling fans: "I need to take a proper, extended break first."

Valorant (无畏契约) has achieved explosive popularity in China, partly due to its seamless accessibility. Unlike Steam-based games, players can log in directly via WeChat or QQ (China’s dominant social platforms, akin to Facebook in other regions), lowering the barrier for new users. According to industry reports, Valorant consistently ranks among the top 3 most-played PC titles in Chinese internet cafes, even claiming the #1 spot during peak periods last year. The 2023 Champions tournament further solidified its dominance, drawing over 15 million Chinese viewers during the finals. Today, it’s a staple among Chinese college students, with campus gaming communities and dormitory LAN parties frequently revolving around tactical showdowns in Valorant.

As a staunch advocate for single-language FPS teams (where all players share a native language), I wasn’t particularly surprised by Swerl’s benching — I even partially support the decision. This aligns with CB’s remarks after winning a domestic cup, where he noted their gameplay and communication became smoother after switching to a single-language roster.

I consider 24K an exceptional coach. His ability to develop players — most of whom transitioned from other esports titles — to near-playoff/international tournament levels is remarkable, especially given that Guang is the only veteran on the squad. Regarding Swerl, his reported severe wrist injury makes this hiatus a medically prudent choice. From what I’ve heard, Swerl initially planned to retire until Guang persuaded him to join the team.

While I remain cautiously optimistic about Nova’s future, their success hinges heavily on Obone’s strategic IQ in high-pressure matches.

FPX
The criticism toward FPX stems partly from the factors mentioned earlier — Berlin’s ambiguous stance on political issues — but also revolves around Aaaay. His flashy in-game behavior (e.g., knifing opponents and making exaggerated faces at the camera) has drawn criticism from some fans. Additionally, his blunt "trash talk" in FPX’s documentary “I think EDG’s run ends here” and his perceived poor utility usage led portions of the Chinese audience to blame him for FPX’s stagnation.

That said, I personally find some of these criticisms toward Aaaay to be overstated. While his theatrics and occasional tactical missteps are undeniable, attributing FPX’s systemic struggles solely to one player oversimplifies the complexities of competitive Valorant.

China’s Valorant scene is actively reducing reliance on foreign players to prioritize single-language FPS rosters (all members sharing Mandarin as their native language). A growing number of teams are adopting all-Chinese lineups — for instance, T2 team RA now fields a fully domestic roster. When recruiting foreign talent, organizations increasingly favor Chinese-speaking players to ensure seamless communication. Examples include:BLG’s Nepph WOL’s Juicy AG’s Delb
This shift reflects a strategic emphasis on linguistic cohesion over individual star power, aiming to replicate the success of teams like EDG, whose Mandarin-only coordination has proven critical in high-stakes international matches.

I heard that it is Chengdu, but let's wait for the official announcement

Because China has a very strict policy and children under the age of 18 cannot appear in live broadcasts, nor can they participate in live esports competitions, so this is one of the reasons why you have not seen Chinese VCLs. But China has introduced an alternative event called the National Championship, which has many tracks, such as college tracks, Internet café tracks, live streaming platform tracks and club tracks, and waits until the event reaches the quarterfinals before broadcasting live. Tencent Sports will review the capital of the teams in the national competition, and those who meet the conditions can participate in the promotion competition

Cause China's own event exchange platform is more on Tieba. it's like China's reddit.vlr's have some level in China is largely due to his ability to provide data and is more familiar to those of us who have watched the tournament before the Masters Tokyo

reason is easily
i think fpx go worst but also can win some teams
nova go stronger because they go to speak all Chinese
tyloo i think also go stronger because I've seen more tactical command in Tyloo and igl move from HFMI to Slowly
xlg put little lower cause Coconut demonstrates strong mid-round calling, his gunplay appears to be trending toward inconsistency
tec not will be better although they have TvirusLuke

casue mrcani is the worst igl that i see in vct. he's like a bug, anyone can trample to death. so that stew and ziyan and jkuro need use 100% or even 200% of strength. After leaving JDG amid abrupt management changes, Sword9 revealed that a player on the team (JDG) refused to participate in post-match reviews and went AWOL following a series of scrim losses. The Chinese community widely speculates this player to be Stew, especially considering JDG’s history of amateurish management decisions. Frankly, no one would be shocked if this inexperienced leadership pulls another disruptive stunt mid-season.

thats ok bro
i cant make sure that import coaches can make region level up. but i think if have some good other region coaches can make that. they can bring more new ideal for cn coach and also can give some player（like fengf） Targeted training. i think chinese have so many good player but dont have good coach can bring them go right direction.
superteams in China's VCT CN will likely hinge on the LPL's performance at this year's League of Legends World Championship Dual-franchise organizations like BLG and JDG — which operate teams in both LPL and VCT — have currently prioritized resource allocation toward their LOL divisions, largely due to the toxic community dynamics surrounding LoL esports in China. These clubs are under immense pressure to deliver China its first home-soil Worlds trophy, a symbolic milestone that overshadows Valorant's growing prominence.
Should LoL teams falter at Worlds and VCT CN squads secure another international title expect these organizations to pivot aggressively toward building Valorant superteams. Meanwhile, financially robust non-LPL-affiliated teams like TEC and WOL appear to have their own roster-building philosophies. While they could theoretically assemble super team their current strategies suggest a more measured approach focused on long-term synergy over flashy signings.
