Valorant’s Champion Tour is well underway, but one team, in particular, is slated to take the crown. However, is a challenger looming in the distance?
Sentinels are undoubtedly the favorites to bag the Challengers 1 victory, taking on Luminosity Gaming in their opening game, but North America’s underdogs are keen to make their mark.
With 100 Thieves, TSM & T1 all failing to qualify for the Closed Qualifier, the stage is set for the underdogs to make a name for themselves – but can Sentinels hold off the pack?
As Tyson ‘TenZ’ Ngo gave his notice that he’d be stepping down from the C9 roster — and as one of the most naturally gifted players out there — teams looking for a chance to break the status quo have a change to make their names heard. Picking up ex-CSGO star Leaf, and celebrated Korean, Son ‘xeta’ Seon-ho, the impressive roster failed to get back open qualifier winners, Immortals.
With teams continuing to pick up impressive roster talent, with Kenneth ‘koosta’ Suen making the switch to Gen G and NRG who acquired Ryan ‘Shanks’ Ngo and Sentinel main, Gage ‘Infinite’ Green.
