Bilibili Gaming has officially punched its ticket to VALORANT Champions Paris 2025, becoming the very first squad from VCT China to qualify for the year’s biggest international event. The tournament is set to run from September 13th to October 5th, and the Chinese side will be heading there with plenty of confidence after a strong Stage 2 showing.

The team locked in their spot after banking enough Championship Points, thanks to their recent upper bracket semi-final win over TYLOO, which pushed them into the Stage 2 China upper finals. That victory brought them to the top of the Championship Point standings with 16 points total this season, comfortably enough to secure qualification.

A Look Back at Bilibili’s Run

Bilibili’s journey through the 2025 VCT season has been far from straightforward.

In Stage 1, they were knocked into the lower bracket early after a 0–2 loss to Wolves Esports in the semis. But they clawed their way back in style, even getting revenge on Wolves later in the lower bracket final. The run ended just short in the Grand Final, where they fell 1–3 to XLG Esports, finishing as runners-up.

Stage 2 has told a different story. Bilibili dominated their group stage, outperforming top names like EDward Gaming, before grinding out a 2–1 series win against TYLOO in the upper bracket semis. They’ll next face Dragon Ranger in the Upper Final, but whatever happens from here, their Paris ticket is already booked.

Who Could Join Them?

With Bilibili already confirmed, the question now is which other Chinese squads will head to Paris.

There are still three more spots up for grabs: one from the Championship Point leaderboard, and two from the Stage 2 playoff results.

Currently, XLG Esports and EDward Gaming are neck-and-neck in second place with 13 points each. Both sides are fighting for survival in the lower bracket—XLG taking on All Gamers, and EDG set to clash with TYLOO in the Quarter-finals. If results line up, fans could even see an XLG vs EDG showdown in the lower semis, which would be huge given their current rivalry.

Where to Watch

For those keen to follow every play, VCT China Stage 2 is being streamed live on the official VALORANT Champions Tour CN YouTube and Twitch channels. Fans in China can also catch the action in person at the Chongqing Science Hall.

With the region heating up and more tickets to Paris still on the line, the road to Champions 2025 is only just getting started, and Bilibili Gaming has made sure they’ll be leading the charge.
