In a sign that China’s internet industry is restarting after a two-year crackdown, Tencent is also planning to organize a Valorant Esports league when the game is released in China later this year. TJ Sports, a Tencent subsidiary, has already discussed the competition’s setup with prominent Chinese Esports players.
As Tencent launches the game locally, the tournament could begin as early as this summer, with anonymous sources suggesting that the event will attract a large number of players and fans alike.
In conclusion, Tencent’s plans to launch Valorant Mobile and organize an Esports league in China are set to add a new dimension to the game’s popularity. With its unique gameplay and fast-paced action, Valorant is sure to attract a new wave of players, and the Esports league will provide a platform for fans to engage with their favorite teams and players.
