Riot has Released the VALORANT Champions Tour China 2024 Partner Teams
Riot Games, the gaming mega-company behind VALORANT, has set the stage for a new esports tournament with the announcement of the ten partner teams competing in the first ever VALORANT Champions Tour (VCT) China 2024 season. As the fourth regional league to join the VCT, China steps onto the global competitive stage, standing alongside the Americas, EMEA, and Pacific leagues.
The journey for these elite teams begins in February 2024 with the VCT 2024: China KICK-OFF tournament, marking the start of the season. The stakes are high, as the top two teams emerging from this tournament will receive an automatic boost into the VCT Madrid Masters, scheduled for March 2024. This international showdown promises to be the first major test for the victorious Chinese squads in the new year.
In total, the 2024 VALORANT Champions Tour China season will witness the rise of eleven formidable teams. Alongside the ten esteemed partner teams, one additional team will earn its place through the VALORANT China Ascension 2023 event, set to debut on December 23, 2023. The battle to become China’s representative in the Valorant esports landscape is about to begin, and we can already feel the competitive tension rising.
Let's take a closer look at the lineup of the ten VCT China partner teams that will redefine the Valorant competitive scene in 2024:

In China, Valorant launched officially in July 2023, three years after its global debut. Distributed in China through the video game powerhouse Tencent, VALORANT quickly gained traction, capturing the competitive spirit of gamers across the country.
As for the China Valorant Champions schedule, Riot Games confirmed the VCT league will begin in early 2024, marking a significant step for the region's esports scene. FunPlus Phoenix (FPX), a famous Chinese esports organization, rebranded its VALORANT roster, ZHUQUE, to FPX, already expecting the VCT China to be launched and boosting their presence before anyone else could.
While specific details about the partner teams remain relatively secret, it's worth noting that VCT partner teams in other regions enjoy permanent slots and revenue sharing—a testament to Riot Games' commitment to long-term partnerships in the esports ecosystem.
Beyond the VCT league, Shanghai emerges as a lighthouse for VALORANT Masters, hosting the second VCT Masters event of the 2024 competitive season. This underscores China's role in the global esports arena, securing its status as the largest commercial esports market.
With the VALORANT Champions Tour China 2024 on the horizon, Riot’s choice to let Valorant install itself in Asia’s biggest market will, without a doubt, change the landscape of global gaming.
