Valorant Champions Playoffs are just around the corner. Already, all seats for the upper brackets have been fulfilled.
Valorant Champions 2021 is the first of its kind. Hosting a pioneering eSports title is no joke and Riot have pulled it off just fine.
Fierce and skilful battles riddle the group stage. As a result, Valorant fans were always at the edge of their seats. Yet, it feels the somewhat same at its core.
That familiar feeling might just propel it to sky-high fame. The following teams made it through to the Playoffs as Group winners. It is EMEA supremacy in the groups.
