A successful start for Guild Esports: At the start of the Valorant Masters in Copenhagen, the team of the British e-sports organization OpTic Gaming defeated 2:0.

For the e-athletes of Guild, it is not only their premiere victory at a worldwide Masters, but also a prestigious success. OpTic was the winner of the last Masters in Reykjavik in April.

While the Americans, who are among the title favorites, will play in the next game to stay in the tournament, Guild is missing only one victory to reach the playoffs.

Guild's opponent on this path is the Argentine team KRÜ Esports. The organization, founded by former professional footballer Sergio Agüero, won the Masters with a score of 2:0 against the Brazilians Loud.

On Monday, the second team from the EMEA region, which includes Europe, will start the Masters tournament with FunPlus Phoenix. The opponents for the start are the professionals of Xerxia from Thailand.
