Sentinels Valorant finished top of Group D, with an impressive 4-0 record. Team SoloMid, Homeless, T1, Team Envy, Immortals, Gen.G Esports and Cloud9 were the other teams to qualify for the knockouts. T1 and TSM were favourites to face off in the grand final but were eliminated in the quarter-final and semi-final respectively to set up a Sentinels Valorant vs Cloud9 final. The final started off as a tense affair, with both teams tied at 1-1 before Sentinels matched on to clinch a win. Sentinels Valorant have now asserted themselves as a potential new heir to the throne of NA and will be a tough challenge for teams like T1 and TSM at future events.
