Favorites win at the G-Loot Valorant Clash: Natus Vincere won the final of the off-season tournament 3-2 against Parla Esports. The new Navi team wins the premiere.
The success against the Turkish e-sportsmen from Parla was very competitive. Only on Breeze, the last map in the best-of-five series, did the decision in favor of the navigation pros come down.
For them, the tournament victory is the positive end of recent turbulent weeks. After their previous organization FunPlus Phoenix dissolved the Valorant team on November 7th as a result of the surprisingly missed partnership for the VCT EMEA league starting in 2023, they switched to the e-sports organization from Ukraine a day later. Unlike FPX, Navi starts in the new Valoran top league for Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
For the only e-sportsman from Germany, the tournament was already over after the first round. Niels “luckeRRR” Jasiek, who was still active in the roster of the Berlin e-sports organization BIG until September, lost with his team The Barbers to the eventual tournament winner Navi.
