Fnatic's journey in the Valorant Champions Tour Stage 3 has ended

Fnatic and Team Liquid were the Grand-Finalists of the Valorant Champions Tour Stage 2 EMEA Playoffs. Both of these teams have also represented their region in the Valorant Champions Tour Masters Reykjavik.

Fnatic finished as the runners-up in the Valorant Champions Tour Masters Reykjavik after losing against Sentinels in the Grand-Finals. They came back in the Valorant Champions Tour Stage 3 to continue their domination.

However, things were not in their favor from the start. They failed to finish in the top four in the Valorant Champions Tour Europe Stage 3 Challenger 1 and were forced to try their luck in the Challengers 2.

In Challengers 2, they dropped to Lower-Bracket after losing against Giants Gaming in the Upper Semi-Final. Fnatic faced Team Liquid in a best-of-five series in the Lower-Final of the Valorant Champions Tour Europe Stage 3 Challenger 2. After a thrilling series, Team Liquid beat them with a 3-2 scoreline, knocked them out of the competition and ended their Valorant Champions Tour Stage 2 EMEA Playoffs dreams.
