A successful start for Team Liquid: The Dutch e-sports organization defeated the South American team of Krü Esports 2:0 at the start of the Valorant Masters in Reykjavik.

"Krü had a very hard time against us today," said liquid professional Adil "ScreaM" Benrlitom after the victory in the livestream of the tournament.

It is a special victory: originally Liquid had missed the tournament qualification and is only present as a replacement for FunPlus Phoenix, who could not travel to Iceland for the tournament.

The Belgian Valorant professional does not see his team simply as a placeholder: "People know what Liquid is capable of. I think we can beat everyone in this tournament.»

Team Liquid's next opponent is Xerxia. The Thai team defeated the North American e-athletes of OpTic Gaming 2:0 at the start of the masters.

The start of the tournament for the South Korean team DRX was also successful. In a one-sided match, DRX gave up only five rounds, defeating Zeta Division of Japan 2-0.
