Yongkang \"ZmjjKK\" Zheng, or simply \"KangKang\" (Chinese: 康康), especially impressed with his mechanical skill on the duelist role.\n\nIn 2023, a roster change was made. Donghao \"Life\" Qu left the team and was replaced in the starting lineup by Zhao \"Smoggy\" Zhang. The team was invited to VCT 2023: LOCK\/\/IN São Paulo in [São Paulo, Brazil](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/S%C3%A3o_Paulo,_Brazil \"São Paulo, Brazil\"), placing 17th-32nd.\n\nThey would come in second in FGC Valorant Invitational 2023: Act 1, but qualified to Valorant Masters Tokyo, placing 5th-6th, losing to [Team Liquid](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Team_Liquid \"Team Liquid\") and [Paper Rex](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Paper_Rex \"Paper Rex\").\n\nThey placed 1st in In FGC Valorant Invitational 2023: Act 2 and VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: China Qualifier, and attended [2023 Valorant Champions](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/2023_Valorant_Champions \"2023 Valorant Champions\") in [Los Angeles, California](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Los_Angeles,_California \"Los Angeles, California\"), placing 5th-6th.\n\nThe team started 2024 strong, winning the VALORANT Champions Tour 2024: China Kickoff event and qualifying to VALORANT Champions Tour 2024: Masters Madrid. They placed 5th-6th once more, losing to [Gen.G](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Gen.G \"Gen.G\") and [LOUD](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Loud_\\(esports\\) \"Loud (esports)\").\n\nThey then won VALORANT Champions Tour 2024: China Stage 1, qualified to VALORANT Champions Tour 2024: Masters Shanghai, but placed only 7th-8th, dropping matches to Team Heretics and Paper Rex.\n\nAfter losing their first match of VCT 2024: China Stage 2 to Wolves Esports, a change was made. Longtime in-game leader Haodong \"Haodong\" Guo was removed from the starting lineup, with Senxu \"nobody\" Wang taking over as in-game leader. On June 15, Weihong \"WoodAy1\" Lin joined as a substitute player, and on June 25, Meng-hsun \"S1mon\" Hsieh joined the starting lineup. Another change was made on July 27, when head coach Wen-hsin \"AfteR\" Lo was benched, and assistant coach Shijun \"Muggle\" Tang was promoted in his place. The team stabilized, dropping only two more matches and won VCT 2024: China Stage 2, qualifying to [2024 Valorant Champions](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/2024_Valorant_Champions \"2024 Valorant Champions\") in [Seoul, South Korea](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Seoul,_South_Korea \"Seoul, South Korea\").\n\nIn Seoul, EDG won their opening group stage match against Turkish powerhouse [FUT Esports](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=FUT_Esports&action=edit&redlink=1 \"FUT Esports (page does not exist)\") \\[[tr](https:\/\/tr.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FUT_Esports \"tr:FUT Esports\")\\] 2-0, then lost their second match to North American upstarts [G2 Esports](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/G2_Esports \"G2 Esports\") 1-2. Facing off against rival Pacific juggernaut [Paper Rex](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Paper_Rex \"Paper Rex\"), EDG narrowly won 2-1, qualifying to playoffs.\n\nIn the double elimination playoff format, they went on an unstoppable upper bracket run, winning first against fellow Chinese team Trace Esports 2-0 and North American team [Sentinels](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sentinels_\\(esports\\) \"Sentinels (esports)\") 2-1. In the Upper Bracket Final, they sent North American \\#1 seed Leviatán to the lower bracket in a close 2-1 match, qualifying for the first grand final in their Valorant team's history. In the final, facing [Team Heretics](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Team_Heretics \"Team Heretics\"), EDward Gaming won 3-2, sealing their first Valorant championship, as well as the VCT CN league's first overall international title. For his contributions, star duelist player Yongkang \"ZmjjKK\" Zheng was awarded the MVP Award for the event.\n\nEDG started their 2025 Kickoff event by beating [Nova Esports](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nova_Esports \"Nova Esports\") 2-0, but stumbled shortly after, losing to Trace Esports 2-1, knocking them to the lower bracket. In the lower bracket, the team went on a run, beating 2024 Ascension newcomers XLG Esports 2-1 and 2023 Ascension winners Dragon Ranger Gaming 2-0. Along the way, EDG won 30 rounds in a row. After winning the second map against XLG on a four round win streak, the team went 13-0 on the third map to beat XLG, then started their next game against DRG 13-0 as well. They beat Bilibili Gaming 3-0 in the lower bracket finals, a victory that qualified them to 2025 Masters Bangkok. EDG then won VCT China Kickoff 2025 with a commanding 3-1 victory over Trace Esports, the same team that had knocked them into the lower bracket earlier in the tournament, with the final map a lopsided 13-2 rout for EDG.\n\n| EDward Gaming *Valorant* roster |   |   |\n|---|---|---|\n| Players | Coaches |   |\n|   | Head coach Wenjun \"Muggle\" Tang Assistant coach(es) Shiji \"century\" Liu   Chen \"heav1n\" Wang   Huang \"Sunshine\" Jinjie |   |\n| Handle | Name | Nationality |\n| CHICHOO | Wan, Shunzhi | China |\n| nobody | Wang, Senxu | China |\n| ZmjjKK | Zheng, Yongkang | China |\n| Smoggy | Zhang, Zhao | China |\n| Jieni7 | Zhang, Juntai | China |\n| zjc | Zhang, Juncheng | China |\n| S1mon **(I)** | Hsieh, Meng-hsun | Taiwan |\n| WoodAy1 ![Substitute player](https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/3\/34\/Emojione_BW_1F503.svg\/20px-Emojione_BW_1F503.svg.png) | Lin, Weihong | China |\n| **Legend:****(I)** Inactive **(S)** Suspended ![Substitute player](https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/3\/34\/Emojione_BW_1F503.svg\/20px-Emojione_BW_1F503.svg.png) Substitute ![Injured](https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/0\/03\/Cruz_Roja.svg\/20px-Cruz_Roja.svg.png) Injury \/ Illness | [Roster](https:\/\/www.edgteam.cn\/player?team=EDG) updated 22 June 2024. |   |\n\n- **[League of Legends Pro League](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/League_of_Legends_Pro_League \"League of Legends Pro League\") (LPL)**\n  - **Winners (6):** 2014 Spring, 2014 Summer, 2015 Spring, 2016 Summer, 2017 Summer, 2021 Summer\n- **[Valorant Champions Tour](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Valorant_Champions_Tour \"Valorant Champions Tour\") Valorant China Evolution Series**\n  - **Winners (3):** 2023 Act 1, 2023 Act 2, 2023 Act 3\n- **[Valorant Champions Tour](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Valorant_Champions_Tour \"Valorant Champions Tour\") China**\n  - **Winners (4):** 2024 Kickoff, 2024 Stage 1, 2024 Stage 2, 2025 Kickoff\n\n- **Demacia Cup**\n  - **Winners (5):** 2014 Season 2, 2015 Spring, 2015 Summer, 2016 Season, Championship 2017 Season\n\n- **[Mid-Season Invitational](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mid-Season_Invitational \"Mid-Season Invitational\")**\n  - **Winners (1):** 2015\n- **[League of Legends World Championship](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/League_of_Legends_World_Championship \"League of Legends World Championship\")**\n  - **Winners (1):** 2021\n- **[Valorant Champions](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Valorant_Champions \"Valorant Champions\")**\n  - **Winners (1):** 2024\n\n1. **[^](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Edward_Gaming#cite_ref-1)** Previously stylized as **EDward Gaming**.\n\n1. **[^](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Edward_Gaming#cite_ref-2)**\n   Chen, Hongyu (14 April 2021).
