Team Liquid, before Acend EMEA, secure VALORANT Champions Final spot.

Two titans of EMEA will try to test their ticket for the first time in the championships. For Acend the pathway was rocky and a lack of interest has raised the question surrounding their match against Vivo Keyd. During that time, Team Liquid didn’t lose a single series after signing Nivera. Map one went in favor of Acend who easily bullied Team Liquid on Bind. Team Liquid had not struggled against other teams on Bind and Acend were no different. The victory is 13-6 in Acend’s first half. What was a lopsided map on Bind was terrible when Team Liquid matched in a match against Acend on Split. Acend ran up with the map from the gate, assuming a glaring lead at half 11-1. Without an error, Team Liquid could not come back, and a return from a defeat by Acend left the champions 2-0. Play MVP: Patryk starxo Kopczynski, the support player for Acend, came close to completing their match against Team Liquid. His performance on both Sage and Skye led them to a 2-0 win. After dropping 40 deaths and 21 suicides, he took a 1.9 kmD. Danny Appleford

Gambit versus KRU Esports The giant slayers fall.

In all its forms, ‘Boardie’s play’s ends on the semifinal stage. That meant they’d only become the biggest surprise to come out of Champions. However, in their group stage victory against Sentinels, we all resorted to our strength, but despite their success in quarterfinals against Fnatic, they began to look like a huge contender. Semifinals wouldn’t be easy, as they were on stage 3: Berlin’s champions Gambit Esports. The first map, Breeze, started on its own for KRU. Their first half racked up an eight-four o’clock despite Gambi naming the map pick. Gambit quickly showed why they were favored in this match, however, hitting back in second half with 9 rounds and ending the map 13-8. @KRUesports have made a steady lead with @VALORANTChampions pic.twitter.com/ctX32nqWaF. VALORANT Champions Tour (@ValorantEsports) December 11, 2021. KRU was very far from done. Their names came from the second map, Ascent. After a 7-5 scoreline, KRU found themselves in the flurry of things. Gambit turned back 7-7, but KRU quickly adjusted the score to make it all to its peak, and turned the map around with six consecutive rounds of wins and 13-7 scoreline. Things really went on board the map of Bind. KRU finished the first half at 8-4 and had their way up to 10-4 after the half, but Gambit quickly dragged it back to the area until they hit overtime. But neither team was ready for this yet. Both teams traded double-suffering blows for two hours in the longest match of Champions so far. The Latin American underdogs claimed victory with a score of 18-16. Match MVP: Gambits Sova player Timofey Chronicle Khromov came in big number of times during the series, but especially in the pivotal third map, enabling them to win rounds, as were initially disadvantaged, and return to the series back from seemingly dire straits.
