Gambit just lost to Acend two o’clock. At the time that Acend were in the lead-up to the interview, they began to huddle around the Champions trophy. Eventually, the Gambits players were backstage, making the final appearance of their losses. It was certainly not the first time that they had ever lost their way to Acend, but then the stakes were far high. When we began to play, we knew that it would be a long way to form a team that could play with every region and team, said the captain Igor Redgar Vlasov. We learned a lot from this year. We couldn’t have gotten the best performances in the tournament. We had a lot of mistakes, so after this tournament you should continue to improve ourselves and try to win a better competition next year. Gambit came in Champions. They have won the Stage 3 Master: after all, Berlin, and seemed to be a dominant figure towards the end of the competition. They topped their group in the Champions’ group, and made it into the Champions’ playoffs almost perfectly. Gambit came to Playoffs a little too tough, especially in a semifinal against KRU Esports. However, they reached the grand final by the skin of their teeth and are prepared to stare down their longtime rivals, Acend. Gambit and Acend played one another all year. | Provided by Riot Games. The two teams had their past success battling in Europe, Middle East and Africa Challengers. After three years of defeat by the EMEA competition, the team announced that it was the next step to the lower bracket, as a result of its decision to assign the Gambit to the lowest class. However, when two women met again in lower bracket final, they became revenge and forced to resign despite the losing point. In the Champions grand final, the two teams were very familiar with each other, both competitors and peers. The two teams traded jokes and poked fun at each other throughout the series, even though it was entirely unclear what team would eventually come out on top (At one point, Gambit dominated their map pick, Acend player Patryk starxo Kopczynski initiated a game of a stone scissors with d3ff0 from across the stage). @starxo5’s xerox, ‘earth-like’ axiop and mbdss of rock paper lmao these guys, I love them #ValorantChampion.

For them, they like to joking and shout those things. This time, in the most important match they have so far, Acend has emerged victorious. Gambit looked alluring when picking their map picks: Breeze and Fracture, but still unsure when compared to the other three maps. The stars of Acend players Mehmet Yagz cNed Ipek and Santeri BONECOLD Sassi proved too much for Gambit to cope with, even when they fielded a pair of superstars on their own in The nAts and Timofey Chronicle Khromov. I have no idea what to say, said Chronicle. I’m not able to explain that in this tournament I have to play. I feel like you play good and playing for your team, and you are doing everything you want to win every match. That’s all. Gambling on stage in the VALORANT Champions grand finale | Provided by Riot Games. Gambit have not been the greatest team, they never have to be. They have tremendous individual strengths and instinctual synergy among players. This bold playstyle comes with a drawback, and Acend repeatedly found and punished Gambits weak points in the grand finale. According to Redgar, while Acend played well, Gambits own mistakes played a major role in the match. The main opponent for us was ourselves, said Redgar. They’re good, but I can’t argue indifferently about that tough guy. Gambit have proved themselves to be one of the best teams in the EMEA region all year. That hasn’t changed, though it had been such an loss. And while the players are sad about the loss, they are not so disheartened a lot of things. They are confident in their abilities, and ready to make 2022 even better. Those two of us are excited about what’s going to happen next year, says nAts. It’s going to be tough next year, but all of that was the era. We’ve done amazing things. We might’ve played better today, but what’s done is done. For us all, this was a huge experience, and it wasn’t all for us all, but as a result we could take on international teams, and this year it’s been fun to watch something new.
