The main tournament of the year, Valorant Champions 2024, began today, and the first pair of teams have already played against each other. Below we will tell you how the first match in Group B ended.

In the first clash, we saw a meeting between the top teams of the Pacific region, Gen.G Esports, and the American representatives, Sentinels. Before the start of the match, there was no unanimous favorite, as both teams were considered quite strong due to their results during the competitive season. However, despite this, the Pacific representatives turned out to be much stronger than their opponents and easily defeated them.

As a result of the two maps, Haven 13-8 and Ascent 13-7, Gen.G Esports earned their first victory in the championship and will await their next opponent in the winners' match. It's worth noting the team's main duelist, t3xture, who scored 38 kills across the two maps and was named the MVP of the match by Bo3.
