The opening match results at VALORANT Champions 2024 were disappointing for the Sentinels and FunPlus Phoenix teams. They found themselves in the lower bracket of their group and are at risk of leaving the championship in the last places.
The most important tournament of 2024 started unfavorably for Sentinels and FunPlus Phoenix. Due to the draw, they ended up in one of the toughest groups, and now one of these teams will not advance, as their next match will determine which continues the fight for the championship and which leaves the tournament.
Sentinels lost their match against Gen.G Esports with a score of 0:2, while the second match between FunPlus Phoenix and Team Heretics was more intense and required three maps to determine the stronger team. Two of them ended in overtime, but despite a tough fight, Team Heretics emerged as the winners. Tomorrow, they will meet Gen.G Esports in a match for a playoff spot, while Sentinels and FunPlus Phoenix have fallen into the lower bracket and will play an elimination match.
The exciting matches and the level of competition among the teams in the battles demonstrate that Group B is one of the most competitive, delighting Valorant fans who follow the professional scene and disappointing fans of the teams that ended up in the lower bracket.
Valorant Champions 2024 is taking place from August 1 to August 25, 2024, in Seoul. Sixteen partner teams, four from each competitive region, will compete for a total prize pool of $2,250,000, as well as the title of world champion and the strongest team for the next year.
