Move over, Fortnite—there’s a new esports king in town! 🌟 Chinese club Edward Gaming (EDG) stormed to victory in the 2024 Valorant Champions Tour (VCT) grand final, defeating Team Heretics 3:2 in a nail-biting showdown in South Korea’s Incheon. The win marks another milestone for China’s booming esports scene, which first made waves globally in 2008 when Invictus Gaming (IG) claimed the country’s inaugural League of Legends title.
EDG’s star sniper Zheng 'ZmjjKK' Yangkang stole the spotlight, earning MVP honors with jaw-dropping plays under pressure. Known for his aggressive style and cool-as-ice demeanor, Kangkang (as fans call him) led his squad to split the $1 million prize pool. 🤑💥
Fun fact: Incheon’s esports legacy runs deep—it’s where Riot Games’ titles like Valorant and LoL have repeatedly rewritten history. EDG, who also clinched the LoL world championship in 2021, are now double-title legends. 🏆✨
As live audiences cheer and streaming numbers skyrocket, one thing’s clear: the future of gaming is global, fast-paced, and fiercely competitive. Who’s ready for the next round? 🔥
