The perpetual face of Chinese VALORANT, EDward Gaming's superstar Zheng “ZmjjKk” Yongkang has now cemented himself in the history books.

In the VALORANT Champions 2024 Grand Finals series against Team Heretics, ZmjjKk put up 111 kills across five maps, breaking the VALORANT Esports record for most kills in a Best-of-Five(Bo5).

The performance broke the record for VCT Esports and Challenger leagues, solidifying his position as one of the best to ever do it.

The stellar performance from the star also helped EDward Gaming lift their first VALORANT Champions. To commemorate his performance, he was awarded the inaugural VALORANT Champions 2024 Most Valuable Player Award.

Leo Faria, Head of VALORANT Esports and Anna Donlan, Head of VALORANT, awarded the superstar with his MVP bracelet.

After receiving the trophy, ZmjjKk expressed gratitude towards his parents for working hard to raise him while reflecting on his journey to the stage. He also reflected on the team’s victory, and what he wants to do next after winning Champs.

“My brother in arms, Smoggy was crying after we won and he asked me ‘Why are you not crying’, and I replied ‘Because we are more than this, this is just the beginning”

Team Vitality CEO Neo: "For Us to be a Global Leader Means Being a Contender at EWC"

Team Vitality remains one of the most influential and well-known esports organizations to date. The Paris-based org fields over 20 esports teams in various esports, though their immensely impressive results in Counter-Strike take center stage.  Being one of the organizations present at Esports World Cup 2026 in Paris, we managed to speak with Fabien "Neo" Devide, Co-Founder and CEO of the Hive, just after an interview with Mike McCabe, COO of the Esports World Cup Foundation, at the opening press conference at EWC. Neo provided a ton of insight into the organization's participation at this year's edition of EWC in Paris. He expressed his desire for the org to perform to the highest standards, but also highlighted that rivalry is key to grow the ecosystem. Additionally, Neo gave strong opinions on the growth of mobile esports following last year's Vitality's takeover and merger with Indonesian side Bigetron, stressing the need for innovation and following ideas in the east, as much as the west.
