Acend became the best VALORANT team of 2021. In the grand final where two EMEA teams competed, Acend came out as the winner.
Before the final series, there was a magnificent visual and musical show. GRABBITZ, which made a great opening with the “Die For You” announced before the tournament, fascinated us all.
Acend, who won the final series, which was breathtaking until the last moment, with a score of 3-2, became the champion. The champion team received the $350,000 prize money. Gambit Esports placed second and took home the $150,000 prize money.

On the third map, Fracture, Gambit Esports had a comfortable victory with a score of 13-3. Then Acend continued the championship fight by winning the fourth map, Icebox, with a score of 14-12.
