Valorant Lower Bracket : XSET vs Luminosity Gaming
XSET with the higher seeding picked Breeze as the first map. LG had the next pick and chose Ascent with Split being the decider map. It looked like an XSET victory from the first map itself.
Map 1: Breeze
LG came out strong with the first two rounds. That’s where their momentum ended, XSET dominated the entire map with Crycocells top fragging with 22/9. XSET looked like the better team from Round 3 and LG had no chance. XSET won 13-5 with no hiccups.

Map 2: Ascent
This map was another Crycocells spectacle with him erupting for 25/10. XSET has always been strong on Ascent but this was a massacre. XSET dominated over LG with a 13-5 scoreline again.

Future for XSET
XSET has now moved onto the Lower Round 3 to play against Cloud9 Blue. This looks like a great matchup since XSET is hot off a winning streak. They dominated over Knights and LG with flawless series wins. However, C9 will be a challenge as they are considered the hottest teams in NA. They have only lost one game throughout the group stage and playoffs.
Can XSET hand C9 their second loss in this season and move onto the Lower Final?
