TYLOO's path to the trophy went through the lower bracket of the playoffs. Finishing second in their group, the team went directly to the playoffs, but fell to the lower bracket after losing to JD Gaming. Being one step away from elimination, TYLOO consecutively defeated All Gamers, Nova Esports, and Bilibili Gaming before taking revenge on JDG in the decisive match. For JD Gaming, who finished 5th in their group and fought their way through the Play-In stage, the loss in the final was only their second of the entire tournament.
Despite the international debut of the organizations themselves, both finalists feature experienced players. TYLOO's in-game leader (IGL), Pong "SiuFatBB" Ka Hei, previously competed at Masters Toronto 2025 with Wolves, and his roster was reinforced by former CS:GO player Sun "slowly" Kelun. Meanwhile, Huang "Yuicaw" Yung-chieh — SiuFatBB's former Wolves teammate — plays for JD Gaming.
The VALORANT Champions 2026 tournament will begin on September 24, 2026, in Shanghai. Four representatives of the Chinese region will compete for the championship against 12 of the best teams from around the world.
As a reminder: FURIA's female CS2 roster is moving to VALORANT in its entirety.
