Valorant NA Challengers 2: teams and bracket

Valorant teams that qualify from the open qualifiers are:

• T1
• Sentinels
• TSM
• NRG Esports

The 5th to 8th ranked teams of Challenger 1 are:

• Cloud9 Blue
• Andbox
• Immortals
• Built By Gamers

These eight Valorant teams will be playing in a double-elimination, best-of-three setting. The upper quarterfinals bracket looks like this:

1. T1 vs Cloud9 Blue
2. Sentinels vs Andbox
3. TSM vs Immortals
4. NRG Esports vs Built By Gamers

Valorant fans are excited to see more potential matchups. Sentinels against Cloud9 Blue will be one such matchup because TenZ will be playing against the team he has been loaned from.

The Immortals vs TSM matchup has a long history of being fiery. Immortals have almost always beaten TSM. But it will be interesting to see whether Hazed for TSM makes a difference in pushing his team over the edge.

T1 also seemed like a crowd favorite as they beat FaZe 2-1 in intense open qualifiers. It will be interesting to see whether this momentum is what they need to perform their best.
