China has finally stepped into the VALORANT Champions Tour (VCT) with its own dedicated league in 2024. The VCT is expanding, not just in scale but in global reach, and the addition of the Chinese league promises an infusion of fresh talent and fierce competition. Riot Games has also recently revealed the 10 partnered teams for VCT 2024 China.

VCT 2024 China: All Partnered Teams

In a groundbreaking announcement on 11th December, 2023, the VCT China league unveiled the ten powerhouse teams that will define the landscape of competitive VALORANT in the region. These teams aren't just players; they are contenders, each with the potential to reshape the global narrative of the game:

• AG VALORANT
• Bilibili Gaming
• Edward Gaming
• FunPlus Phoenix (FPX)
• JD Gaming
• Nova Esports
• Trace Esports
• Titan Esports Club
• TYLOO VALORANT
• Wolves Esports

Unlike their counterparts in the Americas, EMEA, and Pacific leagues, many Chinese teams are emerging from the shadows, their names not known in the international VALORANT arena. While veterans like Edward Gaming (EDG) and FPX bring experience, teams like TYLOO VALORANT and Nova Esports are captivating unknowns.

The spotlight has turned toward Chinese VALORANT after EDG and Bilibili stunned the world at VCT Champions 2023 in Los Angeles. These teams may be unfamiliar to the Western audience, but their prowess speaks volumes.

The 2024 VCT schedule mirrors 2023, kicking off with an introductory tournament and transitioning into league play. The mid-season Masters event, set to unfold in Shanghai this year, is a testament to the VCT's commitment to global expansion.
