EDward Gaming
The best Chinese organization in VCT, EDward Gaming won the inaugral Champions Tour: China Kickoff by defeating favorites FunPlus Phoenix. They have put on exceptional perfromances over the years to get to the S-tier stages, winning the China Evolution Series twice, but failed to convert their qualifications into big wins.

The current roster includes Haodong (Guo Haodong), CHICHOO (Wan Shunzh), nobody (Wang Senxu), Smoggy (Zhang Zao), and ZmjjKK (Zheng Yongkang).
Paper Rex
Paper Rex, popularly known as PRX, has been one of the consistent teams in Valorant.

Fnatic

They dominated the 2023 season, getting first position in both VCT Sao Paulo and VCT Masters Tokyo after surreal performances against Evil Geniuses and arch-rivals LOUD. Unfortunately, LOUD got the better of them in Valorant Champions 2023 Playoffs. Boaster (Jake Howlett), Derke (Nikita Sirmitev), Alfajer (Emir Ali Beder), Leo (Leo Jannesson), and Chronicle (Timofey Khromov) didn’t have the best start to this year’s season but that could change in the EMEA 2024 tournament.
Gen G
As stated by the team members on countless occasions, Gen G’s recipe for success is teamwork and synergy. Munchkin’s ability to marshall his comrades while Defending, controlling every possible angle to negate attacks, has been praiseworthy. The team members pride themselves on the execution of their tactics that barely give the enemy team any chance of a comeback. Although the Runners-Up of Masters Madrid 2024, Meteor (Kim Tae-o), t3xture (Kim Na-ra), Lakia (Kim Jong-min), Munchkin (Byeon Sangbeom), and Karon (Kim Won-tae) won the hearts of every Valorant fan with their performances.
Sentinels
Sentinels proved themselves to be one of the best Valorant teams in 2024 when they won this year’s Masters Madrid tournament. SEN City was pushed to the limit by Gen G but their teamwork and tactics prevailed over the Korean favorites. Boasting a notable roster, the current Sentinels include Johnqt (Mohamed Ouarid), TenZ (Tyson Van Ngo), Zellsis (Jordan Montemurro), Sacy (Gustavo de Silva), curry (Rahul Nemani), and Zekken (Zachary Jude Patrone), the powerhouse who dominated almost every Map of Masters Madrid finale.
