Established in 2019, the TTG team made history in 2023 by claiming Guangzhou's first King Pro League (KPL) championship trophy and marking a new milestone for Guangzhou's esports scene.

The Esports World Cup (EWC) is the world's largest comprehensive international esports tournament. It was originated in France as the European tournament "Lan Arena." In 2024, Saudi Arabia took over hosting duties and rebranded it as the Esports World Cup.

With a total prize pool exceeding $70 million, the EWC2025, held in Riyadh from Jul 7 to Aug 24, has attracted over 2,000 players from more than 200 clubs across 100+ countries and regions, featuring 24 official esports titles.
