It became the first Chinese club to win the title since the tournament's launch, with French President Emmanuel Macron presenting the championship trophy.
AG.AL's victory was not decided until the final stage of the competition. In the last event, Trackmania, French player Gwen held his nerve under pressure to claim the title, helping AG.AL overtake Saudi Arabian club Team Falcons in the standings and secure the overall championship.
This victory reflects a new trend in global esports competition: competition among top clubs is no longer determined solely by one popular game or a single star player, but by a club's overall capabilities in multi-title strategy, talent development and global operations.
For AG, the title was not just a last-minute breakthrough, but the result of a global strategy that had been developed over years.
"Although the tournament itself lasted only around two months, we had been preparing for it for more than two years," Chen Longsheng (EDDY), AG.AL VP&COO, told the Global Times on Monday. He said AG began expanding its overseas esports operations around the EWC in 2024, selecting promising players from around the world and now covering more than 20 esports titles.
This multi-title strategy is also closely linked to EWC's unique competition format. Unlike traditional esports tournaments that often focus on a single major game, EWC adopts a club-based ranking system covering multiple titles, including Honor of Kings, CrossFire, and Trackmania. AG.AL competed in more than 10 events, accumulating points across different competitions before completing its comeback in the final stage, according to AG.
Chen said the format has also changed how clubs evaluate the value of different esports titles.
"From our perspective, there is no absolute distinction between major and minor titles. As long as players in a game have the ability and passion, they can help the club earn valuable points," he said.
He noted that titles such as Tekken and Trackmania may have smaller audiences compared with some mainstream esports games, but outstanding players in these fields can still become important contributors to a club's championship ambitions because they offer the same opportunity to earn crucial points.
Under this new competitive environment, esports clubs are also shifting from building teams around a single title toward developing more diverse talent systems.
However, for an esports club competing on the global stage, finding the right players is only the first step. Building a stable team among players from different countries and regions, while ensuring smooth operations at international tournaments, also tests a club's management capabilities.
"Cross-border operations involve challenges including language communication, contract arrangements, legal regulations, and player support," Chen said. "Different countries have different legal environments and salary systems, and coordinating all of these issues is actually very complicated." 
According to AG, during this year's EWC, staff members followed the teams throughout the process, from players' arrival in Paris, to training arrangements, communication with tournament organizers, post-match interviews and their departure.
"Fans see the players on stage, but behind them there are many operations staff ensuring that the entire team runs smoothly," Chen said.
AG's own development journey also reflects the changes that have taken place in China's esports industry over the past two decades.
In 2001, AG's predecessor won the StarCraft title at the World Cyber Games (WCG) Grand Finals, earning China's first world-level esports gold medal. Twenty-five years later, AG once again reached the top of an international competition. But the way esports is contested has changed dramatically - from battles centered around individual games to competition among global clubs based on talent, operations, and broader ecosystems.
"Over the past two decades, Chinese esports have gradually moved beyond the era when success depended mainly on individual players or a single game title, and developed into a more mature ecosystem involving clubs, professional leagues, content creation, commercial partnerships, and international exchanges," Shanghai-based esports commentator Natto told the Global Times on Monday.
According to Natto, the growing international presence of Chinese esports clubs also reflects a broader change in how the industry views overseas markets.
"Going global is not only about sending teams abroad to compete," Natto said. "It also means understanding different audiences, building communication channels and allowing more people to see the diversity of Chinese esports."

直播吧4月21日讯 近日，《马卡报》撰文谈到了阿劳霍的现状，他们表示球员可能正在面临他在巴萨最糟糕的赛季。

B |

巴萨主帅弗里克似乎是一个习惯性的人，在对阵莱加内斯的比赛中，这位德国教练再次使用了之前大胜多特蒙德的首发阵容。教练团队仅对首发阵容进行了两处调整，其中阿劳霍获得了首发机会。但乌拉圭中后卫的喜悦是短暂的，他在上半场佩戴队长袖标出战后，中场休息时被德容替换下场。

阿劳霍在对阵莱加内斯的比赛中再次退步，这让他付出了代价，因为在对阵贝蒂斯的比赛中的失误导致了对方扳平比分，所有人的目光都集中在了他身上。

C | 错误接踵而至，表现时有时无，这是阿劳霍的现状。尽管他也有值得称赞的时刻，比如在对阵多特蒙德时两次关键封堵，如果这些封堵未能成功，可能会让欧冠淘汰赛的结果悬而未决。

即便如此，这些高光时刻屈指可数，现实是乌拉圭中后卫尚未恢复到曾经作为球队最可靠防守者之一的状态。

D | 自伤愈复出以来，他的表现更多地引发了疑问而非肯定。自从弗里克到来后，阿劳霍不再是哈维执教时期的绝对主力。尤其是在高强度比赛中，他的重要性有所下降。

总计，阿劳霍在17场比赛中出场1051分钟，贡献了2个进球和2次助攻，还有两张黄牌。这些数据尚可接受，但远未达到一个防守领袖应有的水平。此外，内部竞争也比以往任何时候都要激烈，在他参加的8场西甲比赛中，有一半的时间被换下。在所有比赛中，他已经5次在17场比赛中被直接换下，即30%的情况下被换下。

E | 这与他上赛季的表现形成了鲜明对比，在2023/24赛季，他参加了37场比赛，只有1次被换下。

以下是阿劳霍在各赛季未打满全场的次数：

2024/25赛季：17场比赛 / 5次被换下

2023/24赛季：37场比赛 / 1次被换下

2022/23赛季：31场比赛 / 7次被换下

2021/22赛季：43场比赛 / 6次被换下

2020/21赛季：33场比赛 / 7次被换下

也就是说，阿劳霍距离追平他在2022/23赛季的最差记录仅差两次被换下。然而，更糟糕的是，追平这一记录他还需要再参加14场比赛。因此，可以说到目前为止，这是他在巴萨最糟糕的一个赛季。

自他进入一线队以来，他的市场价值一直在迅速上升。从2020年底的1500万欧元升至2023年3月的最高点7000万欧元。然而，在2024年6月，他的身价仍然保持在7000万欧元，但在2024/25赛季开始后急剧下降。仅仅六个月时间，他的身价就从7000万欧元跌至5500万欧元，现在进一步降至5000万欧元，比赛季初减少了28.57%。

此外，他也不再是世界前15名最有价值的中后卫之一，目前排名第16位。在全球范围内，他排在第89位。
