It has been an exciting year for Valorant's competitive scene. The year-long VCT has seen many teams fight in their regions through Challengers and Masters. The top 16 of them qualified for the first Championship.
It has been nearly two weeks since Champions began. Fans have watched their teams soar, crash, and everything in between. The tournament has seen controversies, significant upsets and teams performing beyond everyone's wildest imagination. After the dust settled, only two teams remained - Acend and Gambit.

Gambit came into the tournament on the back of winning the Berlin Masters. They were the potential winners in most predictions. Although they had faltered here and there during the tournament, they have produced a strong showing overall to get to the final.
Acend has had a controversial start to their tournament, through no fault of their own. Vivo Keyd surprisingly defeated them in their first match before the results got overturned. But since then, it has been a clinical performance from them in the playoffs.
Two back-to-back 2-0 results, one against Team Secret and the latest against Team Liquid, got them in the grand finals of the biggest Valorant event of the year. They now face the Berlin Masters winner for the crown and the title. Interestingly, Acend has already defeated Gambit twice in the VCT this year.
Gambit's only loss in their last five matches is to Acend in the VCT EMEA Challengers Playoffs. It remains to be seen who manages to prevail over the other in this exciting conclusion to the first-ever Championship.
