Although FPX is based in China, they have a Valorant team comprised of EU players.
Their current roster is succesful as well. They’ll be competing in the VCT Stage 3 EMEA Playoffs later this month.
If FPX fills out a roster with Chinese players, we expect them to keep their EU roster as long as they’re performing.
They could even compete in multiple regions, similar to orgs with all-female teams like Cloud9.
Players must be 21 years of age or older or reach the minimum age for gambling in their respective state and located in jurisdictions where online gambling is legal. Please play responsibly.
