Favorites LOUD, in their match against Gen.G, unexpectedly for most Valorant fans, were unable to overcome them and lost their debut match at the VALORANT Champions Tour 2024: Masters Madrid tournament.

The champions of the Pacific region proved to be stronger than the former world champions, which was an unexpected outcome for most, but not for those who watched the match live and saw the Brazilians, who were not in their best form.

At the end of the day, LOUD and FunPlus Phoenix fall to a 0-1 bracket and will play their next matches in the elimination round, while the winners, Gen.G and Karmine Corp, await their match for a spot in the playoffs, with their opponents to be determined after tomorrow's results.
