On September 12, 2025, Gaotu Techedu Inc. (hereinafter referred to as "Gaotu") and Wolves Esports Club (hereinafter referred to as "Wolves Esports") jointly held the "United in Dreams, Champions at Gaotu - Global Esports Talent Strategic Cooperation Launch Conference" at Wolves' home venue in Chongqing. This cooperation marks Gaotu's official appointment as Wolves Esports' official learning partner, with both parties engaging in deep cooperation on global esports talent development. The partnership aims to break industry barriers, build a new bridge for the integrated development of education and esports, and accelerate China's esports advancement onto the world stage. Luo Bin, Co-founder and Senior Vice President of Gaotu, Teng Feifei, Vice President of Fosun Sports and General Manager of Wolves Esports, along with Wolves Esports players including Crisp and Ning, attended the launch conference to witness the formal strategic cooperation and jointly chart a new blueprint for the globalization of esports education.
Innovative Model Accelerates Chinese Esports' Journey to the World Stage The strategic cooperation between Gaotu and Wolves Esports creates a new model for "Education + Esports" international talent development. This partnership aims to create a comprehensive growth system of "Competition + Quality + Ecosystem" for esports talents through systematic language training, cross-cultural communication guidance, and international resource connection, helping Chinese esports talents enhance their global competitiveness and promoting Chinese esports' acceleration onto the world stage.
At the launch conference, Teng Feifei, Vice President of Fosun Sports and General Manager of Wolves Esports, stated: "Gaotu's educational resources combined with Wolves' competitive resources are forming a powerful synergy: Gaotu 'supplements quality' for talents while Wolves 'provides the stage' for talents. This multi-party collaborative model can not only cultivate esports talents with stronger international competitiveness but also explore a replicable and scalable new path for the globalization of Chinese esports talents."
As a technology education group, Gaotu leverages its professional teaching team, mature language teaching system, personalized learning and quality education solutions, as well as AI-based efficient teaching models to scientifically enhance esports players' comprehensive abilities in cultural output, international communication, and professional psychological development. Through providing diverse services such as language training and cross-cultural communication guidance, Gaotu will comprehensively help players meet the needs of international competition communication, overseas collaboration, and personal long-term development.
Luo Bin, Co-founder and Senior Vice President of Gaotu, stated in his remarks: "The strategic cooperation between Gaotu and Wolves Esports is not only an important step in promoting Chinese esports to the world but also a significant exploration of future educational innovation. We look forward to breaking more boundaries between industries and education, awakening individuals' diverse potential, and contributing Gaotu's wisdom and solutions to comprehensive talent development."
Notably, this cooperation represents another innovative breakthrough for Gaotu in the "Sports + Education" integrated model. Following its official appointment as the official learning partner of China's National Diving Team, National Swimming Team, and National Synchronized Swimming Team, Gaotu further extends its quality education and language communication system to the esports field, assisting comprehensive development of talents across multiple fields and stages through systematic customized courses and systematic talent development mechanisms.
Joint Launch of TAS Esports Talent Assessment System to Promote Sustainable Development of Esports Industry In promoting the international development of Chinese esports, Gaotu and Wolves Esports focus not only on improving current players' abilities but also on systematic construction and sustainable development of industry talent pipelines. In this strategic cooperation, both parties jointly created and launched the TAS Esports Talent Assessment System, providing professional data and evaluation through comprehensive assessment to create the industry's first integrated "Assessment-Training-Development" esports talent cultivation channel.
Based on this assessment system, Gaotu will integrate its high-quality educational resources to provide diverse educational services including language courses, study abroad support, quality development, and employment training for assessees with different development directions, helping construct a complete closed loop of "Assessment-Development-Employment" to truly achieve full-cycle support for talent growth.
Meanwhile, Gaotu will fully leverage its professional advantages in psychological education, actively building communication bridges between parents and children, helping the younger generation rationally understand the esports industry and scientifically plan development paths, assisting families in forming consensus on educational choices, and promoting the esports industry toward healthy and sustainable development.
Continuously Expanding "Education+" Ecosystem Boundaries to Cultivate Comprehensive Talents for the Future In early 2025, Gaotu reached a strategic cooperation with Fosun Sports Group, jointly conducting deep cooperation in areas including educational tourism, distinctive brand events, curriculum development, brand marketing cooperation, corporate business, and public resource empowerment, exploring new paradigms for coordinated development of cultural and sports industries. The cooperation with Wolves Esports is one of the first important projects to be implemented by both parties.
In the future, Gaotu and Wolves Esports will fully leverage their respective resource advantages, collaboratively delivering more internationally competitive professional talents to the esports industry, helping Chinese esports move toward more internationalized and standardized high-quality development.
Beyond esports, Gaotu will continue to uphold its "Love Squared" educational philosophy of "Igniting Interest + Cultivating Habits + Shaping Character," relying on core advantages such as the "Main Instructor + Assistant + AI Companion" three-teacher teaching model and personalized learning solutions, actively expanding "Education+" ecosystem boundaries, exploring new paths for cross-field integration, and providing high-quality technology education solutions for cultivating comprehensive talents for the future across more industries and sectors.
