Valorant's 1st Anniversary Wayou Festival and the 2024 VCT CN League Annual Finals were held at the Changsha International Convention and Exhibition Center on July 20. On the day of the event, in addition to announcing that the number of people online at the same time exceeded one million, the first MV of "Never Stop" created by Lin Junjie for the celebration, the announcement of the first list of 2024 V.I.P guides, the explosion performance of GAI and 99God, and the star exhibition match, the champion of the second stage of the 2024 VCT CN League Finals was also officially decided, which can be described as exciting.
At the beginning of the event, Jin Yibo, the publisher and producer of Tencent Interactive Entertainment's Valorant national server, announced on the first anniversary of the game's launch that the number of simultaneous online users officially exceeded one million.
To be able to achieve such results in just one year is naturally inseparable from the support of every player who likes Valorant. Next, Mr. Huang Lingdong, Vice President of Tencent Games and General Manager of Valorant China, announced the first list of the "2024 Valorant V.I.P Guides" program, recognizing 36 outstanding individuals who have made important contributions to the development of the game ecosystem, covering e-sports players, streamers, content creators and other fields. He stressed that in the future, he will continue to promote the incentive program so that more "guides" can enjoy this honor.
As part of the celebration, the MV for Valorant's tribute song "Never Stop" made its debut, composed and sung by JJ Lin himself. The song tells a story of growth and tenacity from the perspective of ordinary players, paying tribute to every player who has grown up with the game.
In addition to the MV, the bombing performances of Zhou Yan GAI and 99God, as well as the star exhibition matches led by Allen Guo and Amber, pushed the atmosphere to a climax. Stars and players from different fields gathered together to stage an unforgettable audio-visual feast.
At the same time, the celebration also extended to all parts of Changsha City, with large-scale creative advertisements set up in high-speed rail stations, subway stations and Wuyi Square to attract passers-by and tile friends to check in and experience the lively atmosphere of the first anniversary together.
Through this anniversary, the cohesion of tile friends can be seen, and with them can create one miracle after another in the game. I believe that in the future, more players will join the world of Valorant, so let's witness the birth of a new miracle together.
