On June 26, the Chinese esports team EDward Gaming announced on their official Weibo account the addition of S1Mon to their Valorant roster.
EDward Gaming, the first to qualify for VALORANT Champions 2024, which will take place in August this year in Korea, is currently experiencing a series of setbacks, having suffered their third consecutive loss, including a match at Masters Madrid. In the current VCT CHINA 2024 Stage 2 tournament, they lost 1-2 in their first game to Wolves Esports, who are in last place in the group stage.
EDG Valorant has announced a new player, S1Mon (Xie Mengxun).

Amid increased concerns about the current roster, the decision to expand the roster to seven players may help regain their former shape. Fans and analysts are focused on the team's upcoming matches.
The starting lineup is currently unknown, but there are rumors in the community about Haodong departure due to the team's ongoing failures.
