Re:#400

TE viva will become coach while FKEY from TE academy team will be promoted.

The road to VALORANT Champions Shanghai is officially open! Every team gets a shot at earning their spot on the international stage through hard-fought performances.

Path 1: Direct Qualification via Stage 2 Playoffs

• For VCT CN League Teams:
  1. Within the Stage 2 Regular Season, the top 2 teams from each group will compete in Regular Season Seedings to lock their seeding positions. These four sides advance straight to the main bracket of the VCT CN Stage 2 Playoffs as Seeds #1–#4.
  2. The bottom 4 teams from each group will enter the VCT CN Stage 2 Play-In Stage following the Regular Season Seedings.
• For China National Tournament Teams:
  1. The champion of the China National Tournament(hereinafter referred to as CNT) Season 6 Offline Finale earns an automatic berth to the Professional Qualifier Playoffs. The remaining teams from the amateur track will battle across the Professional Qualifier Group Stage for seven available Playoffs spots.
     Note: The champion must complete pro certification to compete in subsequent events; if they fail to qualify, the spot will pass to the next eligible team in line.
  2. The top 2 finishers of the Professional Qualifier will advance to the VCT CN Stage 2 Play-In Stage.

In total, 10 teams will compete in the double-elimination Play-In Stage to claim the final four slots in the main Playoff bracket.
These four sides will sort their seeding via Play-In Seedings and enter the VCT CN Stage 2 Playoffs as Seeds #5–#8.
The eight teams in the Stage 2 Playoffs will clash in a double-elimination format to fight for the regional title. The tournament’s Champion and Runner-up secure direct qualification to VALORANT Champions as the region’s #1 and #2 seeds respectively.

Path 2: Qualification via Championship Points for VCT CN League Teams

League teams accumulate Championship Points across Kickoff , Masters, Stage 1 and Stage 2. Beyond the two teams that qualify via the Stage 2 Playoffs, the two sides with the highest total Championship Points will also punch their tickets to VALORANT Champions.

Time Lines:

• VCTCN:
  Stage 2 Group Stage(Jul.9-23rd) → Stage 2 Seedings(Jul.24-26th) → Stage 2 Play-Ins (Aug.5-12th) → Stage 2 Playoffs (Aug.14-23th)

Who will cut through every obstacle and claim ultimate victory? Which underdogs will upset the favorites and write legendary underdog stories? Let the competition unfold.

We could see millions of comments rushed into s0pp's X and it made everyone surprised. To be honest, I don't encourage to abuse players without reasons. But this is the pressure that VCTCN players burden for long.

It's known to all that there's an ''Internet Wall'' around China Mainland. Though it really exist, millions of comments rushed yet, no one could imagine what would happen if there's no ''wall''.

For example, if you were ZmjjKK, during VCT25: CN Stage 1, your team played terribly, and not quality for global event for the first time. Everytime without special noticing, there are a huge number of comments about abusing you: Chewing Gum, Listening to Rap Songs, and just ABUSE without reasons. What would you think?

I never encourage to abuse a player, I announce this again. This is the first time the world realize what is happening on the Internet of China Mainland and the pressures VCTCN players face.

🥰😽

oh sorry I forgot to add: in a world-wide event

Last time 2 teams from China got 2 wins in a same day in a world-wide event is dating back to: August.14th, 2023.

XLG has maintained full English comms for years

How could a VCT pro player said "I think I don't know why. I just I just can't play International. So hard." unconfidently after losing matches?

In my opinion, the most important thing of being a pro player is confidence.

''We can't find the fifth person to play yet.''

Said WOL yosemite in his streaming.

• 1703(Hoster): Why do you put EDG on the champions?
• EDG nobody: Because I want to win the championship!
• 1703(Hoster): And what considerations did you have for placing these four teams "Top Travelers"?

• 1703(Hoster): How do you finish your rank, XLG? There's no "Top Travelers".
• DRG Nicc: They’re using us as a sacrifice.
• XLG happywei: I trust DRG. Nicc is a great player.
• XLG Lysoar: DRG welldone. I think SpiritZ1 is a great player, too.

There's rumours that BLG yilai joined XLB and someone reported that, so XLB has withdrawn. This is NOT 100% true.

The rosters of Valorant in ENC will announce in June.

All players from EDG WILL NOT PLAY.

There's rumours that BLG yilai joined XLB and someone reported that, so XLB has withdrawn. This is NOT 100% true.

In my opinion, I think Riots don't allow a club has two teams in different leagues.

   • ADing(Commentator): Dominating Now My Crew, Boys!
     Breakdown: After NOVA lost to WOL in VCT26: CN Kickoff, GuanG posted a weibo "dnmcb", there are so many meanings of it. The most mainstream opinion is “Dudes, Nobody’s Making Clutch Bigs!”, the politest opinion is "Don’t Now Mean cb’s Beside“ because GuanG has been cb's teammate for a long time, but this season cb transferred to EDG. In the end, GuanG apologized.
   • Tommy(Streamer): It’s the Purple-Gold Dynasty now.
   • Audience A: BRO, WELCOME TO VCT CHINA
     Breakdown: On the first day of VCT26: CN Stage 1, NOVA faced EDG, while ZmjjKK finished a clutch, he stood up and shouted to swagzor "Bro, welcome to VCTCN!"
   • Audience B: You have to lose something on the way to becoming an IGL.
     Breakdown: Slowly got a 0/16/5 in today's match.
   • Audience C: Wait, can NOVA actually make the playoffs if they go to Group Alpha?

NOVA will face TEC in 2026 China Evolution Cup Series: Act 2 Grand Final
