The first and final week of competition at Valorant Champions Tour 2023: Game Changers APAC Elite, serving as the qualifier for the women's world championship, is coming to an end. Yesterday, in the upper bracket final, Team SMG had no particular trouble overcoming Full Sense Sapphire with a score of 2-0, thereby securing themselves the first slot in the grand finals.

The confrontation itself didn't seem like a fight for a place in the qualification finals. Team SMG won the opponents' pick Lotus 13-8 with minimal struggle, and then easily triumphed in their choice of Split 13-4. Thanks to this, the team received the first slot in the grand finals of the qualifiers, where they will meet the winner of the match between Rex Regum Qeon Kaguya and Full Sense Sapphire tomorrow. The winner of the qualifiers will receive $12,000 and the main prize - an invitation to the VCT 2023 Game Changers Championship women's world championship.
