This stacks up nicely for Delta Force's second year in China, right after a stacked 2025.
Building on 2025's Esports Momentum
Last year set the stage with multiple events, topping off with two massive Delta Force Invitationals. The Warfare edition in China dished out $500,000 in prizes, while the Operations one in Vietnam had $200,000 up for grabs, pulling peak views over 33k (minus Chinese platforms). That momentum shows the game's pulling power against giants like COD Mobile. With nearly every big Chinese org jumping in, OPL proves Delta Force is here to stay.
