Valorant Champions has been delivering some exciting matches in the Playoffs stage. The first match was between Bilibili Gaming and DRX. Bilibili Gaming started off looking to create yet another upset on the first map with a 2-10 lead, but DRX was able to complete one of the biggest comebacks in VCT history. They also won their own map pick and hence closed out the Bo3 (best-of-three) series by 2-0.
The second match was a highly anticipated one as Evil Geniuses faced off against EDward Gaming. The first map was close as both teams gave it their all. However, in the next two maps, Evil Geniuses absolutely dominated EDG and won the Bo3 series by 2-1.
After the second match, Sportskeeda Esports' Sneh Jadhav got the opportunity to talk to Evil Geniuses' Boostio about how he felt about Chinese Valorant after his series against EDward Gaming. He responded, saying:
