There's Only One Champion, but Countless Ways to Shine: OMODA and Young People Worldwide – "Play Your Own Round"

WUHU, China, Sept. 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As the dust settles on the VALORANT Champions Tour EMEA (VCT EMEA) finals, Karmine Corp’s Dastan “dos9” Zhumagali claimed the Grand Finals MVP title with an outstanding performance defined by70 kills and a 1.28 rating, both series-high marks. At the award ceremony, the OMODA 4 took the stage as the MVP award "presenter," joining the audience in witnessing the player lift the trophy in a moment of glory. The cheers and applause lingered in the arena as OMODA and the crowd shared in that celebration. The spirit of esports, of pushing boundaries and defying limits, carried on beyond the final whistle. As the exclusive Official Automobile Partner of VCT EMEA, OMODA witnessed far more than just this award. It was there for the moments that matter most to young people everywhere.

Beyond the Spotlight, Every Breakthrough Is a Highlight
Highlights don't only happen on the floodlit stage of competition. For countless young people, highlight moments aren't always about championship glory – they live in the choices we make every day: daring to break free from labels and stay true to what you love; pushing through pressure to achieve a breakthrough; refusing to follow convention and having the courage to live life on your own terms.

For 25 million monthly active VALORANT players worldwide, the game has long transcended the screen – evolving into a cultural symbol of self-expression and boundary-pushing. That's precisely why OMODA partnered with VCT EMEA – to see and honor the shining moments of every young person.

Bringing Individuality to the Road, Driving Passion into Real Life
As the noise of the arena fades, this reflection on "highlight moments" extends from the virtual stage to real-world mobility. For young people, mobility is one of the most powerful arenas for daily self-expression – a car is more than transport; it's an extension of personal attitude, aesthetic preference, and lifestyle. The OMODA 4 Cyber Mecha is the brand's answer to Gen Z – bringing self-expression into everyday travel with a visually striking presence.

The Cyber-Mecha design language is the most immediate declaration of individuality. The co-branded wrap, infused with VALORANT's esports aesthetic, turns the passion of the gaming community into a tangible visual statement. Breaking free from the conventional SUV mold, it becomes a trend-forward battle machine for young people – transforming the individuality, breakthrough, and passion of esports into a lifestyle that drives right off the screen.

Exterior defines aesthetic; interior defines experience. The OMODA 4 Cyber Mecha, powered by the AI Intelligent Cockpit, adapts to the diverse travel habits of young people – creating an immersive, warm in-car space – while the Super Hybrid System delivers a composed, efficient driving experience. With hardcore technology, it takes the burden out of daily travel, extending the "no-limits" spirit of esports into every scene of daily commuting, urban exploration, and offline social life for young people.

From the MVP glory on the competitive stage to the shining moments of countless ordinary people in daily life, OMODA believes that everyone has their own highlight moment. That is exactly what "BE THE ONE" means for the OMODA 4 – you don't have to copy someone else's success. Stay true to yourself, live as your unique self – and that's your own MVP moment.

As esports culture continues to converge with automotive, fashion, and technology, OMODA & JAECOO will continue to carry forward the vision of "Co-Create A Beautiful Life With Young People", exploring more lifestyle possibilities with the young generation worldwide. On October 12, 2026, the brand will make a major debut at the Paris Motor Show, unveiling the first AI dream car that truly understands your intent, your habits, your emotions, and your trends. Every journey becomes a new experience of breaking boundaries and expressing who you are.
