We've become accustomed to seeing Chinese players excel in MOBA games. For a long time, they dominated both the first and second Dota games, and Chinese teams have also won numerous Worlds trophies in League of Legends, earning the respect of the entire world. However, when it came to team-based shooters, the global spotlight typically fell on other regions: Europe, South America, and South Korea.

After Valorant Champions 2024, the situation changed. EDward Gaming secured a hard-fought but fully deserved victory, becoming the first world champion from China. It's also noteworthy that EDward Gaming became the first organization to win two team world championships in Riot Games titles, having also won the LoL Worlds in 2021.

The top three also included representatives from EMEA, with Team Heretics making an impressive run through the lower bracket, and Leviatan, the first-seeded team from the Americas.

Now, the teams are heading for a well-deserved break. It’s worth noting that the new season will last for ten months.
