Valorant: VCT CN teams have arrived in Beijing, ready to embark on a culinary exploration!

With under a week left before the knockout rounds of the 2026 VCT CN Stage 1 Beijing event, the organizers have set up various interactive checkpoints and Valorant activities alongside the tournament. Highlights include a music festival featuring bands like Revival Pill and Statue Remolding, a rock concert at the Source Workshop map, a live basketball party, and exhibition matches by popular streamers such as Hanghang from "Win a Game" and Congo Self-study from "Let's See If It's Tech." Additionally, celebrity gaming figure Wang Junkai will join the exhibition matches! Of course, the most exciting part remains the knockout stage of the 2026 VCT CN Stage 1, where the championship and qualification for the Masters tournament will be decided in Beijing, bringing intense competitive excitement to all fans.

Most teams participating in the playoffs have already arrived in Beijing. Previously, international tournaments required long-distance travel, necessitating early arrival to acclimatize. While traveling to Beijing might be less demanding, teams still arrive early to familiarize themselves with the venue and maintain competitive readiness. Recently arrived teams have already begun sampling local cuisine! After reaching Beijing, XLG players have indulged in "late-night noodle hunts" and hotpot feasts—though they opted for Chongqing-style hotpot rather than traditional Beijing copper-pot hotpot!

Team TYLOO has clearly planned well, as their manager arranged authentic Beijing dishes and roast duck, along with individual copper-pot hotpot meals. While it's copper-pot hotpot, this individual serving style might feel less "robust" compared to shared pots!

Upon arriving in Beijing, TE immediately enjoyed a traditional copper-pot hotpot meal, showing they've done their research! For spectators visiting, we recommend trying established chains like Nanmen, Beimen, or Donglaishun to avoid disappointments!

Both TEC and AG have reached Beijing, though they haven't yet shared their "food adventures"—likely updates will follow soon!

JDG, based in Beijing, enjoys the advantage of staying local. From their recent updates, players are filming promotional content while enjoying yogurt from Zhi Guang Yuan. They even encountered DRG's duelist Life on the street, indicating DRG members are also in Beijing! As a star team in the CN region, EDG hasn't announced their arrival yet, but they are likely already in Beijing!
