In case you were curious of all 10 games in this list, from top to bottom
Cost a bit differently vs Global servers I think?
This is due to the fixed ratio in VP Conversion, basically 1 RMB in Chinese server gets you 10 VP, but doing the same through the Global server (Hong Kong) gets you 13 or 12. So on same VP price the CN server is much more costly. To offset this issue they had to reduce VP cost
On CN server coming February 15th, This is likely due to the server launched just last July. Technically they missed out 2 champion skins
Has Riot ever brought back previous Champions skins for sale before? (for outside China servers?)
They having a mobile companion app for the Chinese server exclusively
These allow you to add/find friends through the app, even things like check the daily skin rotation without having to access the game. LoL had a similar one for many years already as well
Open Qualifier winner got Disqualified for rule violation
a set of now deleted message were posted today on twitter by someone, involving what seems to be "Ringing" or basically Account Sharing (another player playing in place of another player in disguise)
Few hours before, FULL SENSE have made a statement that Apinya is now no longer with the team and they are ready to support any investigation needed, the player is suspected to be involved in this
If I recall the VCT CN rulebook will count Taiwan HongKong Macau not import but as resident
not sure bout SG
This is from the National Competition, which equals to VRC and VRL (one step below Challenger) which ends in a $70K LAN Tournament. Yes, $70K for what would be a below-Challengers event
We got our own version of Indian Forsaken I guess
a leaked ranked gameplay two months ago seems to showed that you win the match upon hitting 8 wins
in CN standards its not uncommon for CN orgs to put recruitment ahead of game's launch/release. Especially if its operated by Tencent (as it has happened once this year with the Apex Mobile clone) but this one is unable to verify if this is true.
on the sidenote, VAL Mobile has been recently rumored to showed up as earliest as Next Month.
Not mentioned yet, there is one
From interview with Eric, Head of TJ Sports VCT department
each club in VCT CN has a minimum salary line for a team and a maximum salary line for a team.
During the transition to the VCT CN League next year, TJ will also pay close attention to all transfer situations and try its best to achieve a win-win situation for the club and players.
League also to start after the Chinese New Year
Also CN teams had only 3 year contract instead of 4 because they start the league 1 year late so every region permanent spot ends at 2026
Only 8 teams in the tournament
Format
Someone on weibo manages to catch a deleted blog post in time

Zoomer's post saying goodbye to WBG
plixx's post
R1cklee's post
They seem to be doing kind of cryptic but farewell looking posts. WBG isnt making the cut?
Surely 6 Million pending somewhere between the next two games. so close
Number still progressing as it goes, but its 5.5 Million already by game one
By that they have already beat the previous record holder which holds by Free Fire, yes, I know.
*EsportsCharts exlcuded Chinese number BUT here's the chinese heat value right now if you're interest
Better, a Saudi org
not yet, just that but shouldnt be too long of a wait
Act 3 is next month anyway
Most of times we see format changes tend to be for the worse
China flexes on these attempts by changing a format hoping "To bring more teams on LAN"
4 Hololive Talents performing 2 K/DA songs at the Riot Games ONE offseason event in Japan
Which also features a VCT Showmatch tournament, this year its BLEED NAVI ZETA and DFM
That's pretty huge considering this year they had a Showmatch collab, Marketing campaign in Indonesia and now Live performance on Riot's LAN event
The progression is finally happening, and its going to be boosted significantly with the official league announcement
pretty insane when considering this is with $240,000 on the line too (prize)
like its impossible to see any game in India came close to it (even bringing Free Fire back they would've been sweating, given FF's state globally is in decline)
Chart ranking of Most played games in China's Internet cafe September edition
(In this pic CrossFire [2007] is in 2nd Place, VAL in 5th and CS in 10th just only ahead of CrossFire HD Remaster)
Apparently CNVAL made it into Top 5 since launch in July and has always been there since then.
ESL Clash of Nations 2023
apparently it was because the AVL Thailand qualifier recieved very well
led to the country being granted another off-season event host, this is a SEA LAN btw
I think one key thing is they managed to get org to invest is what really stood out for me on their CNVAL plans
like: NiP? 4AM? AG? Lots of LPL & KPL teams?
sure the player quality is still far behind but that's what you expect when orgs cant even put full investment before approval because the govt ready to yeet you to hell for doing that (like what they did with PUBG for few months)
we see that being what both CrossFire and Perfect World's CS trying to get for the Mainland for so many years but it didnt really go explosive.
CF stuck themself with only 10 orgs in a franchise and pulled worse than overwatch moves by having no T2. While CS werent moving much with PPL (and the fact that to this day, Perfect World still doesnt have a True National Chinese league as PPL is All-Asian)
This VCT CN and EVO thing comes in to fill the void where
This also tops with anything riot will sold well in CN (considering the even unsuccessful Wild Rift still nets 50M+ players monthly over there)
It cause so much effect CrossFire went on panic mode by suddenly announcing a rework of their whole franchising the next year tells a lot, when they refused to do it for so many years just because there's no one else to compete with them not even CS on the national esports scene
If they their buyout value equals to $8M (that equals to a KPL spot rn) then yep
The power of King Pro League was too much for BLG
(DRG is a KPL team, so they had a lot of cash)
40 Teams compete for 4 Spots in LAN Finals, where they will join Top 4 of EVO Act 1
Notably similar teams as last act, a few new teams
Wolves (that Wolves from Premier League) IS IN THIS ACT, they managed to found a roster just in time for Act 2
No, Wolves is looking to enter as on their own brand in China (this might mean Wolves will depart away from EG deals)
Wolves finally made a move to look for a Chinese VCT Roster
Wolves Esports Division started in China FIRST with FIFA so they practically going back to their esports home
as for Wolves results in Chinese division, basically they won in almost every game they made a roster in CN: Notably Their Honor of Kings team and their COD team
It would sound really funny if the scene ended up like CODM
( a Mobile game, but North America wins Worlds somehow )
Tho I believe this to not be the case this time for VALM especially with China+Riot combo just look at how they ran CrossFire Mobile over there
If we go by the closest comparable game (CODM) Top 3 region last year were NA NA BR CN
Sounds crazy but in Mobile Esports, there's totally none of this genre except CODM (Standoff & C-OPS were too small to draw anyone good in). Finally time for this genre to get more in Mobile (This & Rainbow 6)
They basically mixed Challenger and OFF//SEASON into one go
Yep, the tweet after this labels him as New Player
CGRS returns to MiTH after 4 years away from the org, he last compete with this org in CS
Doesnt seem like he's the only new player a Red S was highlighted at the end of video theres probably a +1
Could be a lot by this point, TJ managed to gave Wild Rift League a 7.5M CNY ($1M) which is nearly doubled of LPL's Prize Pool
hard to predict, the highest bar set for a Chinese FPS league currently is CrossFire Franchising at $480K
Its simply named "National Competition"
For starters National Competition is Tencent's way of doing their grassroot scene in China, this includes tournaments at several levels
Then top teams from each path collide in a LAN Finals to determine a National Champion
in some games this will send teams to T2 Leagues
Now the prize pool... This is insane even for a Tencent standard on this model on other games
In total of ¥2M or basically $270K
on what's basically equivalent to VRC (e.g. Project V) for China but has total prize pool higher than the partner leagues themselves
since this ran at the same time as CN EVO meant this is not Challengers China, it is even a step below. (Expect T2 CN League to be more pricey than this?)
900K CNY or $122,000 split equally as a 300K CNY or $41K in Each Act
for comparison the current Perfect World (CS) league runs at 276K CNY at the highest division
Theres also circuit points to collect, which determines top teams entering Ascension in December
( Teams that will later went on to be partnered will probably auto-exclude from the leaderboard later on)
Tigers, Dragons, Horses, Lions, Warriors, Sharks and much more fighting for VALORANT supremacy
Actually interesting when looked at logos
and that's a good thing
Not all matches, but then all matches from play-in onward
None of the teams have been selected for partner yet so at this point every Chinese team is playing (incl those teams at Champions) and they'll probably be excluded from the ascension tournament later on when selected as partner
A LOT OF Surprised Organizations here
Matchups: Here
This stage is uncapped bracket that will ended up having 16 teams going into a second double elim bracket to determine 8 teams in Play-In
then from Play-In Top 4 meets Top 4 of Champions CN Qualifier in ACT 1 LAN at LPL Stadium
List of Organizations here
Yeah that but with no 6th man meant VCT league teams can chose to not do any affiliate at all right? since bare minimum is just the 5
It appears that Legacy Exception is also gone as well (regarding the situtation about Bleed players that recently left)
