Valorant Champions 2024 playoffs: All qualified teams so far
Valorant Champions 2024 playoffs are already exciting. As mentioned before, four teams have qualified as of August 7, 2024. They are as follows:
Team Heretics defeated the Masters Shanghai winners, Gen.G with a 2-1 score to qualify for the playoffs. However, the Pacific contenders still have a chance of making it if they manage to win their next match on August 10, 2024. Their opponents can be either Sentinels or FunPlus Phoenix.
Next, DRX also qualified for the playoffs after collecting a decisive win over Fnatic on August 6, 2024. The victory came via a 2-0 scoreline where players like BuZz, Flashback, and MaKo truly outdid even themselves to outperform the opponent. It was still an admirable attempt from Fnatic players such as Alfajer, Boaster, and Chronicle.
Now the EMEA giants will get their last chance at qualifying on August 10 against either Bilibili Gaming or KRU Esports. The former has had a rough start in the competition losing 0-2 to Fnatic while KRU lost to DRX with a 1-2 scoreline.
Trace Esports shocked just about everyone after collecting a 2-1 victory against Leviatan, a team many expected to win effortlessly. It is clear that the team came fully prepared to take on one of their most powerful opponents at Valorant Champions 2024.
This was also the first time the two teams clashed and now, if LEV manages to qualify for the playoffs, a battle could be fought again to decide who is truly the better team. Leviatan will have to butt heads with either Team Vitality or Talon Esports.
Finally, G2 qualified for the playoffs from group D. They defeated EDward Gaming in order to qualify and before them, they even managed to take down the Pacific stars Paper Rex with a perfect 2-0 scoreline. Now EDG will have to cross their swords with either PRX or FUT Esports to qualify for the Valorant Champions 2024 playoffs.
