At the start of the playoffs of the summer season at the Valorant Challengers in the EMEA region, Fnatic and Guild Esports have confirmed their favorite position. The British e-sports organizations won their semifinal matches in the Upper Bracket.

While Fnatic beat Challengers defending champion FunPlus Phoenix 2-1, Guild Esports celebrated a 2-0 victory against M3 Champions (M3C). Due to their successes, both teams have not only qualified for the Upper Bracket final. They are also the first participants from the EMEA region, to which Europe belongs, to be selected for the Valorant Masters in Copenhagen in July.

On the way to the Challengers title, the third EMEA team for the Masters is still being sought. Here, FunPlus Phoenix and M3C, who will meet in the semi-finals of the Lower Bracket, can continue to have hopes.

In the quarterfinals, the Acend e-athletes were able to defeat FunPlus Phoenix with a score of 2: 0. The Russians of M3C prevailed against the Dutch e-sports organization Team Liquid with a score of 2:1.
