Whz - rising Chinese star of the international professional Valorant scene

We continue to talk about professional players who stood out at Valorant Champions 2023. Recently, we released interesting material about the top 10 best players of the summer of 2023 in Valorant. During the analysis of the data, we discovered an interesting feature of one of the players included in our list, we are talking about the participant of Bilibili Gaming - Wang "whz" Haozhe, and now we will explain what his feature is.

 
 

If you read our material, you know that when compiling the top, we used data from each player from two major tournaments of the summer season - Valorant Champions 2023 and Masters Tokyo 2023. Our editorial board analyzed all the data, including: KD value and ratio, overall rating, the amount of damage dealt, and everything else. After analyzing all the players, we placed them in our top-10 ranking according to the performance of the participants. Here is where interesting information about Whz, who took 7th place in our top, stands out.

 
 

The feature of the Chinese player, compared to other participants, is that he did not participate in Masters Tokyo 2023, only in Valorant Champions 2023, that is, his data was only from one major tournament, while other players had data from both. Despite this, his indicators at the world championship were impressive, which is why he can compete with more experienced players.

History of Whz

The young, 20-year-old Chinese player started his career in Valorant in 2021 but played exclusively in his region. As part of Tales of Eastern, whz participated in tier-2 and tier-3 tournaments and even won the FGC Valorant Invitational, with a prize of $5,425. In February 2023, he was noticed by representatives of the Chinese organization Bilibili Gaming, who that year began to form a Valorant roster. After that, whz's career growth was quite good; together with the team, he took 2nd place in the important regional tournament FGC Valorant Invitational 2023: Act 2, thanks to which he got to the Chinese qualifiers for the world championship, where he also finished as the silver winner.

The victory in the qualifiers brought his team a slot at Valorant Champions 2023, where Bilibili Gaming, together with whz, showed a pretty good result. The interesting situation is that for all the players of the team, this is the first world championship, but despite the lack of experience playing against international tops, the team took 7-8th place and earned $50,000, which is considered a good result.

Performance of Whz

Wang "whz" Haozhe plays the role of a duelist, and his favorite agents are Jett and Raze. From the beginning of the group stage of Valorant Champions 2023, thanks to his high-class game, the Chinese professional helped the team defeat one of the favorites of the American region, NRG, twice. A verbal conflict arose between the teams because the players of the American club arrogantly spoke about the Chinese team and stated that the latter would go home. Read more about the conflict in our material.

Despite this, whz once again proved why he is considered a star of the Chinese region and led the team to the playoffs. As a result, the team's performance at the championship ended after defeats from DRX and EDward Gaming, but Wang offset the team's performance with his own.

The most famous moment of the player during the championship was in the match against NRG when whz, together with his teammate knight, being 2 against 5, made a wonderful clutch and won the round.

Now you know why we call whz a rising star of the future Valorant. Our subjective opinion is that in the future, the Chinese player will reach the maximum possible level and will be considered one of the best duelists not only in China but also in the world. Continue to follow our portal to observe the development of the Chinese top with us.
