Valorant: First Masters title for FunPlus Phoenix

The FPX pros had to fight hard for their victory celebration - and not only in the Grand Final against the Indonesian e-sports organization Paper Rex, which went over the maximum distance of five maps.

After losing to Fnatic in the quarterfinals in the Upper Bracket, FPX followed an impressive run in the losing branch of the tournament. On the way to the final, the team in the Lower Bracket Guild knocked out esports, DRX, Fnatic and OpTic Gaming.

FPX qualified for Valorant World Championship

For the e-sports organization, the success should be associated with great satisfaction: as the winner of the first Challengers edition of the EMEA region this year, FPX was also eligible to play for the Masters in April in Reykjavik. However, due to travel restrictions, the team could not participate.

In addition to the prize money of $ 200,000, there are important circuit points for FPX. The team leads the ranking of the EMEA region, which includes Europe. This is connected with the qualification for the World Championship called Champions in Istanbul in September.
