Riot recently announced the teams in the new VCT China league, which joins other major Valorant leagues around the world: VCT EMEA, Americas and Pacific.
The VCT 2024 China Kick-Off tournament gets underway in February 2024.
Valorant finally launched in China last summer, some three years after its global launch.
Along with Manchester City, Wolves are one of the main Premier League football clubs in England that have been heavily involved in esports in recent years, with a range of teams and tournaments it takes part in.
The news also comes a few weeks after two UK Street Fighter players representing Wolves Esports were at the grand opening of Sandwell College’s new esports hub.
