All Gamers enter VCT 2026 China Stage 1 as defending champions, having cruised to the Kickoff title without dropping a single series. While they managed to avoid most of the region’s top teams, they performed well in the season-opening event.

At Masters Santiago, the Chinese champions crashed out early, with a 1-2 record. However, they defeated Gentle Mates, played a competitive game against G2 Esports, and took a map off the eventual finalists, Paper Rex, which is promising.

  The bookies' bookie

Titan Esports Club were one of the worst-performing teams at VCT China Kickoff, and they have since made no notable adjustments. Besides the arrival of Xin “Spitfires” Mingyang, TEC have not improved their roster, so another shaky stage is to be expected.

The best VALORANT bookmakers have All Gamers priced at -250 to start Stage 1 with a win, which is a fair price. They are among the leading title contenders, while Titan Esports Club have yet to show anything that would make anyone believe they can compete for a podium finish.

NOVA ESPORTS vs EDWARD GAMING

Best Odds	Nova -500 at BetOnline | EDG +333 at SportsBetting
When	March 31, 2026 | 19:00 CLST

Nova Esports finished VCT China Kickoff in last place, with defeats against All Gamers, TYLOO, and Wolves Esports. At the same time, they had the misfortune of a tough schedule, but Nova also failed to perform during the VALORANT China Evolution Series 2026: Act 1 at the start of the month.

EDward Gaming finished the Kickoff event in third place, and while their run at the Masters Santiago was cut short in the Swiss Stage, EDG showed some signs of life against Gentle Mates and T1.

  The bookies' bookie

EDward Gaming are viewed as one of the top favorites to win Stage 1 and rightly so. This is one of the most experienced rosters in the league, who have also shown much more so far this season.

Anything less than a 2-0 sweep for EDG will be considered a poor start to the stage.
