TYLOO and XLG Esports Exit VALORANT Champions 2026
Both TYLOO and XLG Esports have ended their campaigns at VALORANT Champions 2026. Following elimination matches in groups C and D, the Chinese rosters fell to Team Liquid and Nongshim RedForce, respectively.
The series between TYLOO and Team Liquid went the distance. After dropping the first map on Split (8:13), TYLOO fought back to take Summit (13:7), but ultimately fell 1:2 after a decisive loss on Lotus (2:13). Kamil "kamo" Franczak stood out as the match MVP, recording a 261 ACS—11% above his six-month average.
Meanwhile, XLG Esports suffered a 0:2 sweep against Nongshim RedForce in two incredibly tight maps. Both Summit (11:13) and Sunset (11:13) were decided by narrow margins. Kim "Francis" Mu-bin delivered a standout performance with a 294 ACS, exceeding his recent six-month average by 25%.

Moving forward, Team Liquid and Nongshim RedForce will compete in decisive matches for playoff spots against G2 Esports and Karmine Corp. The VALORANT Champions tournament is currently taking place in China, with a total prize pool of $2.25 million on the line.
