The Brazilians of LOUD are the first team in the final of the World Championship called Champions in Valorant. Meanwhile, the World Cup tournament is over for the last remaining European team. In the last game of the Upper Bracket LOUD celebrated a clear 2:0 victory against OpTic Gaming.

It was particularly dominant on the second Ascent map. Here, the e-athletes did not give their opponent from North America a chance. It was 13:3 at the end. "We're in the final, damn it!", rejoiced LOUDs Bryan "pANcada" Luna after the match on Twitter.

Valorant Champions: OpTic and DRX play for Grand Final

The team against which the professionals from South America have to play in the World Cup final will be decided on Saturday. Then OpTic Gaming and DRX will meet in the final of the losing branch. The South Koreans of DRX knocked out the last European team in the semifinals in the Lower Bracket. DRX celebrated a 2-0 success against FunPlus Phoenix (FPX).

From the point of view of FPX coach Erik "d00mbr0s" Sandgren, it was an unfortunate defeat for his team, as he explained via Twitter: "I felt that we could have won both maps, but we screwed up at important moments. This shows how strong Team DRX is in principle.»

With FPX in fourth place, the World Cup in Turkey ends without a podium place from a European point of view - and thus worse than at the premiere World Cup a year ago. At the end of the Champions 2021, the first three places were occupied by Europeans.
