Bilibili Gaming crowned VCT China Stage 2 champions

The victory not only handed BLG their first major trophy of 2025 but also secured them the first regional seed for VALORANT Champions 2025 in Paris.

VCT China Stage 2, which ran from 7 July to 24 August with 12 competing teams, was the final regional event of the 2025 VALORANT calendar.

Four Champions slots were on offer, split between the top two teams of Stage 2 and the top two sides in the overall VCT China points standings.

BLG, already qualified for Champions through their points tally, ensured they would lead China's charge in Paris by lifting the Stage 2 title. They were joined by DRG, who capped off an impressive year as an Ascension side by finishing runner-up.

Also qualifying are XLG Esports, another Ascension story, and EDward Gaming (EDG), who secured their place as 2024 Champions winners. The final qualification picture was locked in after XLG eliminated All Gamers in the Lower Bracket Quarterfinals.

BLG's run reflected a steady rise in 2025. After finishing third in Kickoff and second in Stage 1 - which earned them a trip to Masters Toronto - they finally broke through with silverware in Stage 2.

Their campaign included a strong group stage performance, dropping only one match to Trace Esports, before navigating the playoffs by edging TYLOO, falling briefly to DRG, then eliminating EDG 3-1 in the Lower Bracket Final.
