Giants Gaming secured one of the two possible spots in the Valorant Champions 2023 by reaching the grand final of the VCT EMEA Last Chance Qualifier 2023, beating the KOI team 2:0 on maps. KOI fall into the lower bracket where they continue to compete in the tournament.
Before the match started, KOI was favored in this encounter among fans of the discipline, most believed in their easy victory over the Giants Gaming team, unlike the statistics of personal meetings. The teams played five times in a year and a half, four of which the victory was on the side of Giants Gaming and only once KOI managed to beat them at the Crossfire Cup tournament with a score of 3:1 on maps.
Match Result
The match was in a format up to two victories, but the teams identified a winner in this meeting in two maps. The first map, Haven, chosen by the KOI team, was tough for both teams, where they managed to show good play at the end of the match and make a comeback to additional rounds, on which the Giants Gaming pulled themselves together and took the opponent's pick on their side. The second map was opposite to the first one, Giants Gaming started their pick confidently and immediately became favorites on it, which continued until the end of the map, which they won with a score of 13:5. Adolfo “Fit1nho” Gallego, a player of the Giants team, received MVP in the match thanks to his unparalleled game on Jett with 48 kills.
In the lower bracket, they are awaited by the NAVI team, where the teams will compete for the last EMEA spot at Valorant Champions 2023. We remind you that two spots are being played out in the EMEA region for the world championship, although there is only one in other regions. The extra place was received by the European region due to the victory of the European team Fnatic at VCT Masters Tokyo 2023.
