Group A in VALORANT Champions: Controversy and Excitement
The matches in Group A of VALORANT Champions have been both confusing and thrilling for fans. One particular match between Acend and Vivo Keyd stood out due to controversy. Vivo Keyd used an illegal exploit, resulting in the forfeiture of rounds. Initially, Acend was awarded the win, but a second ruling led to a replay of the map, with Acend starting with a 7-0 advantage.
Acend Keeps Their Focus
Despite the chaotic situation, Acend’s Santeri “BONECOLD” Sassi and his team stayed focused. According to BONECOLD, the days off were spent scrimming and trying to maintain normalcy amidst the uncertainty. Acend dealt with the pressure exceptionally well.
Acend had the option to start the match with a 12-10 or a 7-0 score. They collectively decided to go with the 7-0 advantage, showing their determination to overcome the stressful situation. Acend emerged victorious against Vivo Keyd and advanced to face Envy in the Group A winners match. This match was exciting but lacked the drama and confusion of the previous one as Acend closed out the series with a 2-0 win.
Confidence Against Envy
Having previously played against Envy in scrims, BONECOLD and Acend felt confident going into the series. They had performed well against Envy in the past and believed they could secure a decisive victory. Although there were moments of pressure in the last rounds on Bind, overall, Acend felt relaxed and focused.
Heading to the Playoffs
Many fans hoped for a rematch between Acend and Vivo Keyd in the group decider match. However, Acend swiftly secured their spot in the playoffs. BONECOLD acknowledged Vivo Keyd’s potential but they ultimately fell short against X10 CRIT. Acend is now one of the four teams representing Europe in the playoffs.
In the playoffs, Acend may face Gambit. BONECOLD expressed excitement about potentially playing against them, citing their close friendship both inside and outside of the game. The VALORANT Champions playoffs promise an exciting experience for fans and players alike.
