Valorant Finally Released in China
The official release of Valorant in China took place earlier this month on 12th July. It came more than three years after it was launched for the rest of the world. The Chinese players received all the skin collections along with a set number of agents and maps. The launch in China was also celebrated with a special melee weapon skin drop called Ignite Capsule. It consists of a specially designed fan-melee which is probably the most exquisite and well-designed knife in Valorant.
Now, the developers have already planned out more than a year in advance how they will be celebrating the one year anniversary of the game’s launch in China. Riot Games will continue maintaining its presence in Asia by conducting another international tournament in the region next year. It has been announced that VCT 2024 Masters Shanghai will take place in the upcoming competitive circuit. It will be the second international tournament of the year. This announcement comes just a week after the groups for VCT 2023 were announced.
“From day one we aspire to build a sport that’s truly global, with teams, players, and fans from all over the world. With Chinese teams starting to participate in our global events including an amazing run from EDG at Masters Tokyo. We have seen how amazing and promising the community is in China,” says Leo Faria. The upcoming international tournament is scheduled to take place in late spring 2024.
EDG from China has already shown the potential that teams from the region possess following its historic record-breaking run at the VCT 2023 Masters Tokyo. It will be interesting to see how they perform in the upcoming Valorant Champions Los Angeles 2023. The Masters event for 2024 will also celebrate the one-year anniversary of Valorant’s release in the respective country.
