    As the VALORANT competitive scene heats up ahead of VALORANT Champions Tour 2025 - Masters Bangkok 2025, fans are getting their first look at how teams are shaping up for the year. Among the contenders, Trace Esports from VCT China has stolen the spotlight by becoming the first team to qualify for the prestigious international event.

    Journey to Qualification

    Trace Esports started their 2025 campaign with a strong foundation, earning a bye to the Upper Bracket Quarterfinals of VALORANT Champions Tour 2025 - China Kickoff. In their first matchup, they swept Dragon Ranger Gaming with a convincing 2-0 victory.

    Their next challenge was a daunting one: EDward Gaming, the reigning VALORANT Champions from 2024. Despite being the underdogs, Trace Esports delivered a dominant performance, defeating EDG 2-0 with both maps ending in a decisive 13-4 scoreline.

    The semifinal win set up a thrilling encounter against Bilibili Gaming. This series proved to be Trace’s toughest challenge yet, as the match stretched across all three maps. After a hard-fought battle, Trace emerged victorious with a 2-1 scoreline, securing their place in the Grand Final of VCT China Kickoff.

    Proving the Doubters Wrong

    By reaching the Grand Final, Trace Esports has guaranteed themselves a spot at Masters Bangkok 2025. Both the first and second-place teams from the each of the regional Kickoff tournaments will represent their respective regions at the year’s first international stage, making Trace the first team globally to secure qualification.

    Trace Esports continues to defy expectations after their surprising underdog run at VALORANT Champions 2024. Their dominant start to the 2025 season sends a clear message: they are not just a one-hit wonder but a team ready to compete with the world’s best.

    Masters Bangkok awaits, and all eyes will be on Trace to see if they can continue their rise.
