The Valorant pros from Fokus won the Canadian final of the Challengers promotion against BIG with a score of 2:0. With this, Fokus rises to the top of the European class.

"It's the underdog story! Everyone rated us poorly before the season. At some point, we won every game," said Maximilian "bucher" Bucher of Fokus after the victory in the German livestream of the tournament. The background was Fokus' narrow qualification for the championship in the German-speaking countries.

Combined with the success, Fokus is promoted to the highest Valorant league in the EMEA region, to which Europe belongs. After winning the title in the DACH league, it is the team's biggest success.

The Berlin e-sports organization of BIG also wants to continue competing at the Challengers. As the last of their Challengers group, the team had to play for the class in the Challengers Promotion. There is still a big chance: in the final of the Lower Bracket, the team will face the winner of the match between Rebels Gaming and Surreal Esports.
