PTG Database Analysis
The 2026 VCT CN season ran from the January Kickoff in Guangzhou to the August annual final in Chengdu, with stages also hosted in Hangzhou, Beijing and Changsha. The official account named TYLOO (TYL) the annual champion; VLR records the Stage 2 final result as 3–1 over JD Gaming and lists a $250,000 Stage 2 prize pool. That Stage 2 figure is not a verified combined season total. The year-end partner list is recorded in the Partnerships tab.[5][6][7][8]
