Whzy and Life were the big names from 2020 to early 2022. Kang Kang has improved so fast.

Also love the vid bc it shows insight to how hard the CN scene has worked.

I remember in like the very early days of chinese valorant when the Korean or japanese teams would come to Chinese invitational the Chinese teams would get demolished. It wasn't even close. Back then the scene was pretty much underground. Viewership was terrible and prize money poor. Respect for them grinding till now.

I remember life and whzy being the two hype duelists and kangkang really came out of nowhere and overtook them in those 2-3 years. Kk was very rough at 15-16 and lots of ppl doubted him. It's nice hearing this story.

Yeah but like it's again just rough. Fundamentally Chinese teams are lost. Just very bad overall play in those days.

Kone died and all their member either went tyloo blg or edg. 1 kone member became assistant coach for edg I think.

I just think their players just got bought out. I mean tyloo blg and edg became stronger cause of it.

I have a few questions.
Does EDG have an academy team?
And are there any players in China with hidden talents? I would like to know who you think.
I am interested in a valorant in China.

edg has ex 6th mans and sub players. Abo from tyloo used to be ex EDG. Same with Life. It feels like the EDG talent scouts are really good at finding the talented players. Now that valorant servers is out i'm sure orgs can find some unknown rank players that have potential.

they do have an academy team, yeah (cause kk and haodong routinely joke about losing their pay checks-)

tyloo is actually their second team…cause i’m 70% sure edg funds them (?) and like the two teams use the same facility (hence why abo joined them)

they disbanded before. They grow players and sell them.

Also, smoggy when he was on weibo was famous in Japan as a Chinese JETT along with them. Japanese people wanted to know his setting around 2021-2022 lol
