Fnatic and Guild Esports have confirmed their position as favorites as the summer season playoffs kick off at EMEA’s Valorant Challengers.
The British esports organizations won their semi-final matches in the upper bracket.
While Fnatic saw off Challengers champions FunPlus Phoenix 2-1, Guild Esports celebrated a 2-0 win over M3 Champions (M3C). Thanks to their success, both teams not only qualified for the upper bracket final. They are also confirmed as the first participants in the EMEA region, which includes Europe, for the Valorant Masters in Copenhagen in July.
On the way to the Challengers title, the third EMEA team for the Masters is still being sought. FunPlus Phoenix and M3C, who meet in the semifinals of the lower bracket, can still hope for this.
In the quarterfinals, Acend’s e-sportsmen defeated FunPlus Phoenix 2-0. The Russians from M3C defeated the Dutch esports organization Team Liquid 2-1.
