The scorelines for these three maps were-

  • Haven: KT 11:13 DD

Despite Delhi being in the driving seat throughout the Valorant matches, Kolkata did not give up on their hopes of winning. Missing out on winning the matches by just one or two rounds, they made Delhi Dragons work for the win. Even on Bind, they tied out the match, however, in the first round of overtime, Delhi won the game.
