Both teams were excellent from the start of the campaign and are now on the verge of winning the most coveted trophy. Both teams are ready to deliver their best to be the world champion.

Acend has a great chance of winning the match against Gambit Esports. The European side love to mix their strategies and agent composition to surprise opponents.

Acend has some stars like Mehmet "cNed" Yağız İpek and Aleksander "zeek" Zygmunt, who are backed up by their IGL Santeri "BONECOLD" Sassi's big brain, which allows them to mix up their approach towards the game depending on their opponent. They will surely try to develop something new against Gambit Esports tonight.

However, the Russian side is ready for every adverse situation. Gambit Esports has a great potential to pull off the best in most pressurized situations with their highly strategic gameplay. Players like Timofey "Chronicle" Khromov and Ayaz "nAts" Akhmetshin, along with their IGL Igor "Redgar" Vlasov's brain, the Berlin Masters' winners, are eyeing the Valorant Champions 2021 trophy.
