Flex1n will back to DRG starter lineups!
FPX might sign 77even as their new foreign player.
In my opinion, I think TYLOO paid him the money he has been promised to have, and they said goodbye peacefully

Regarding my inappropriate outburst last night, I want to offer my sincere apology to all my fans who care about me. I am truly sorry.
Secondly, I requested personal leave for Stage 2. The club continued to pay my salary in full and supported me to lift the trophy alongside the team, granting me a proper send‑off. However, overwhelmed by my emotions, I shared a number of biased accounts on social media. My words have inflicted severe harm on my teammates, with whom I fought side‑by‑side for two years, and on the organisation that has supported me and placed great trust in me. I feel deep remorse and apologise once again. I urge everyone to refrain from speculation and attacks against our roster. I will continue to stand behind this team that we built together.
Lastly, please allow me to formally apologise once more to TYLOO and all followers of VCT‑CN for my over‑reactions. I am sorry.
yes, it has been proved by more than 3 relevant people.
update: sword9 has been found, now he is in the police station.
Breaking: Now sword9 is lost contact.

Before he posted this article, he said “I'm gone, thank you for being part of my life.“
Meanwhile, his friends called police a few minutes ago.

‑out and two months of paid leave. I never requested to leave. Decisions were final. He said my choices burdened erv and Scales. They had found a replacement. I messaged Zige, who never replied. I turned to 117. He had made promises, yet circumstances had shifted beyond his control. SiuFatBB formally handed me termination papers, ordering me to vacate the bootcamp by Tuesday. Much of this I will keep to myself. I made mistakes, but not all was my fault.
I did not wish to argue over right and wrong. I tried one last time, offering to remotely assist hypnotizing without disrupting team morale. SiuFatBB said the call had already been made: I would not go to Champions.
That is Sword9’s full story. Looking back, I remember every moment vividly. Time and time again I chased that stage. In the end, I gained neither fame nor fortune.
For so long I wanted to lash out at this cruel world. But in the end, I chose not to. Maybe I finally learned what my old mentor taught me: to be a decent human being.
Thank you to everyone I met along this journey. Thank you for entering my world. May you all be treated gently by life.

overnight. We won only one match in Stage 1. The story got off to a rough start. Sun Kelun requested a transfer. I sat in his room talking with him all night, then lobbied two executives, Zige and 117 (Team Principal), to keep him. Days later, SiuFatBB tried convincing me to step down. zjc was transferring to EDG. After much hesitation, I agreed to take over as head coach. My player buy‑out became my coaching signing bonus, which 117 approved. He kept his word. I scouted for external firepower. I had my eye on Splash. I stressed to agents and management how talented he was, but he needed to learn Chinese; communication is critical for top‑tier competition. He was underage at the time. Again we exited in quarter‑finals. Many behind‑the‑scene factors led to that outcome. It was one of my lowest moments, yet I hoped young talent could thrive here.
Moses turned eighteen, and we moved into new housing. As the team’s most fluent English speaker, I roomed with Moses. Billy and hypnotizing’s English was limited. Every review and strat session had to be translated for Moses to ensure he understood. It was exhausting, yet I kept my word to agents and his family, hoping Moses would one day become great. Later, erv joined, giving us three young players: erv, Moses, and Scales.
Sometimes after scrims, I would re‑run VOD analysis with Moses in English, and give extra feedback to Scales and erv. At the Guangzhou kick‑off event, I felt like my old self again. But Moses choked four crucial rounds, and that stung deeply. He kept saying “Let me play” in comms. I told him in our hotel room: you are incredibly skilled, but you cannot win alone. You need your team. I hoped he would absorb that lesson.
Conflict flared during the Beijing event. erv drew criticism for reckless late‑round plays. Sun Kelun and I publicly reprimanded him. I wanted to run Neon comps on Haven and Pearl, but our roster philosophies clashed. Frequent arguments erupted. In hindsight, I may have been in the wrong. Again we fell in quarter‑finals. I told 117 I was burnt out and wanted to step back. He responded sincerely. He suggested I try streaming while still coaching. Zige told me I needed to set clear priorities. Tensions flared within the roster. Once tyloo blew a huge lead in Stage 1, I argued that we should avoid force‑buy on eco rounds. Sun Kelun countered that gun skill should carry us. We lost again. I enforced strict no‑force‑buy rules on eco rounds, sparking another fight. With no one else to fill the IGL spot, Billy and hypnotizing did not want to sign Xiao Mai. I proposed three solutions to management late at night. They chose to acquire Xiao Mai. He came to my room, I walked him through our game philosophy, and he agreed. 117 and I spoke with him the next day, and he officially joined.
Before Stage 2, a heated dispute broke out between Billy and me. I believed Haven required Jett‑Waylay comps, while Billy thought FUT’s aggressive playstyle justified running risky retakes. I called FUT’s retake logic dumb in frustration.
Another blow‑up came when I wanted erv to sit so Sun Kelun could duel. We smoked two cigarettes in the kitchen before reaching a compromise, still bickering.
SiuFatBB reached out soon after, saying management wanted to arrange streaming for me. I thought they were terminating my contract. I snapped at SiuFatBB. Both owners messaged, asking me to cool down. I was not fired; I was placed on team leave with paid vacation. I accepted.
After the Changsha event, I realised streaming was not for me. Over crawfish dinner with 117 in Shanghai, I expressed my wish to return to coaching. He advised me to rest, watch from the sidelines. I pressed: what if we qualify for Champions? He promised I could coach on‑site at Champions. I held onto that hope.
I arrived early for Chengdu. I wanted to be there if the boys qualified. Yet I kept thinking: I am quarantined, I should stay away. I wondered whether the team even needed me. They locked in their Champions spot. I showed up uninvited for the trophy photo. I borrowed a championship ring for the photoshoot. The staff said the ring was only for players. 117 told me I deserved it more than anyone, and my name would be on‑site for Champions. I was overjoyed.
In the end, Zige wanted to talk with me at a teahouse in Chengdu. He said bringing me to Champions would be unfair to Billy and the rest. He said tyloo could win without me. I was furious. He told me I did not fit the team culture; I should not have shown up unannounced. I was cut from the Champions roster. I felt cast aside, wronged. There was nothing I could do. I sought prize money compensation of roughly 200‑300 k RMB. 117 suggested I take time off. Next day SiuFatBB summoned me to a basement room. He asked what made me think I deserved Champions prize money. Effective July 1, I was no longer entitled to championship bonuses. He said housing benefits were performance‑based. The organisation had already paid me 150 k buy‑

I once thought I was not an irredeemable person, that luck would shine upon me one day.
Let me figure out where to begin this story. It all started back in 2018, when I played CS. That was when I got to know Viva and Oisaber. Jem is still active within VCT‑CN to this day. Back then I was not a pro player. I admired them deeply, dreaming of stepping onto the same stage and competing alongside them. Later I set off chasing that dream. My first CS pro career did not go well, yet I was only 22, still full of hope.
Then the pandemic forced me to take a break from competing. Once restrictions lifted, Luoking and JXR invited me to join TSG.Valorant. That was my first encounter with this game. Since there was no official CN server at the time, stable tournaments were few and far between. Luoking and I bounced between multiple organisations amid constant roster reshuffles.
It was at Lizhi where I first met Nobody and ZmjjKK, two prodigies not yet 20. Kangkang had not even turned 18 back then. We had no coach. After practice each day, we would review demos and do aim drills on our own. One sweltering summer noon, Kangkang turned up late for scrims. I chewed him out harshly. I told him he would never amount to anything if he could not get his discipline straight. Looking back now, it is almost funny. That scolded youngster had grown into an elite carry.
Lizhi consistently ranked top‑3 in CN domestic competition, and offers started rolling in for me to play overseas. Deep down I was still a risk‑averse kid. I turned those offers down. I could not bring myself to abandon those promising teenagers for my own gain. They were the future.
Months passed, and the domestic server still had not launched. Lizhi disbanded. Kangkang and Sen went to EDG, the biggest club in China. Luoking and I, unable to keep Q9 running, moved to a new team, Kone. Financial constraints troubled Kone, so we trained remotely. Still, my teammates were all self‑driven competitors. Our results stayed solid. Back then I was full of optimism, seldom feeling drained by practice. I kept waiting for the CN server launch. Yet consecutive final losses to EDG chipped away at my confidence. Still, two runner‑up finishes earned us our first shot at international competition. We lost that event, but I knew there was more ahead.
A month later, Kone fell apart after Masters Shanghai. The CN server was about to go live. That dark day felt like the end of the road for me. Offers poured in from China’s top organisations. I settled on EDG. It felt like the safest ticket to the world stage. The team locked me in a medical room, recruiting me, promising me 3% of championship prize money. That was the first time I had heard of championship prize shares, a moment I will never forget.
EDG had just lost the domestic title to ASE. I messaged muggle: I’m here, we will win from now on. We fist‑bumped in the afternoon; he placed his trust in me. Before flying to Tokyo, my EDG teammates and I claimed a domestic trophy. Right before departure, management told me my visa application was submitted too late. I could not make it to Tokyo. They promised they would bring me to Los Angeles. I told them I would do my best. The boys went on to win the CN spot. Back at the bootcamp, I broke down match VODs and drew strats for them. I devised the dual‑Initiator Gekko‑based setup for Bind, a strategy copied by teams across the globe. I felt on top of the world, convinced this was the start of my lucky break.
My EDG teammates put CN on the map in Tokyo. After they came home, fans would crowd outside the bootcamp for photos. That was the funny anecdote where I was mistaken for security staff. Hardly anyone knew who I was.
We won our first offline trophy, the CQ Championship, upon their return. I thought my world‑stage debut was finally within reach. Everyone got visa invitations for LA, but only eight core members were issued. My name was excluded. They tried scrambling to secure paperwork for me, yet I never made it to Champions LA. Even so, I still believed opportunities awaited. VCT‑CN was only just beginning.
Towards the end of that year, I left EDG to chase my own dream. Few organisations wanted a 27‑year‑old veteran. AG reached out. I am grateful to Master and Sega for giving me a second chance. I transitioned to coaching at AG. It was Sega’s first head‑coaching role. We made quarter‑finals, yet my contract expired and was not renewed. Opportunities still seemed to lie ahead. Viva and stew invited me to JDG. Fortune was not on my side. Meanwhile EDG lifted Champions. The promised 3% prize share shrank to 1.5%. They said it was a miscommunication. muggle and the organisation topped it up with 15,000 RMB as compensation. I remain thankful for that gesture. Hope still lingered.
Soon afterwards, I accepted an offer from tyloo through tyleo and management. My coaching tenure began. That tyloo roster had not made playoffs for an entire year. I was told success would not come
In China Social Media, there's a saying that "If a team get perfect scrims results, they may not get perfect ranks in the main-event. But if a team get terrible scrims results, they will get terrible ranks in the main-event."
EDG 17-6 ???

Just now, 5 players from BLG main rosters except rushia competed a burp‑off after drinking Cola.

Initially, whzy vs FT, with 600ml-bottle Pepsi. Whzy burped first, and soon, FT burped louder with bloodshot eyes, whzy paid a Captain(a bilibili live rewarding, 138￥≈$20).
The next round came bud and nephh, they drunk a 330ml-can Pepsi. 1 minute later, no one burped, whzy asked they jump 10 times. 2 more minutes later, nephh burped, bud will go to the next round.

EDG announced stew has joined.
After today's matches, JDG beated TYL while BLG won XLG. Only AG & XLG could qualify for Champions Shanghai by China Points except EDG.
The other 4 teams could only qualify for Champions Shanghai by winning Upper Final & Lower Final.
These 2 venues has been proved.
All infor is correct.
EDG academy team(Not VLG) has finished a roster update:
Full rosters:
By the way, it seems that WBG haven't found the fifth player yet, Milan standed in temporarily.
JYG, a China National Tournament team, has re-built again. Full rosters:
那也就是说最多能休4年 不是这个原因😱
So Jieni7 could suspend his studies for 4 years at most, this is NOT the emergency😱
By the way, the transformation is considered as the “Emergency”. The Transfer Window of VCT CN was closed at July 29.
The most most credible saying is that Jieni7 MUST return to school, according to Official Website of Academic Affairs Department, Dongguan University of Technology
Regulations on Student Status Management for Full-time Undergraduates of Dongguan University of Technology (Revised 2024)
- Article 15, Clause 4
A suspension of study shall normally be limited to one year. If a student is still unable to resume study upon the expiry of the suspension period, the student or the secondary teaching institution may submit an application, and an additional one-year suspension may be granted upon approval. The maximum length of study for students who have completed suspension procedures shall comply with Article 24 of these Regulations.- Article 24
For students enrolled in four-year undergraduate programmes, the maximum length of study shall be six years.
He suspend studies in 2024.
stew will take the place of Jieni7 of EDG to play Champions Shanghai.

If I told you that the last 2 teams in Regular Season will qualify for Playoff in 2025, would you think I’m crazy?😱
If I told you that the last 2 teams in Regular Season will qualify for Playoff in 2025, would you think I’m crazy?
Trace Esports (#11) and Titan Esports Club (#12) of VCT26: CN Stage 2 Regular Season – at least one of the two teams will make the Playoffs.
This scenario of the last 2 teams make Playoffs has never happened before. That's the meaning of Play-Ins.
