Out of the six Playoff teams, DRX and Team Heretics are now the first ones heading into Valorant Champions 2024 Playoffs after securing their respective group stage winners match.
Team Heretics faced GenG Esports once again and managed to take them down this time as a small payback from the VCT Masters Shanghai grand final. The fight, however, wasn’t easy for both teams as GenG saw the first victory on Heretics’ choice of map with a 13-11 score.
The following map was GenG’s and fans were expecting another easy victory after a dominant first half. The Heretics made an insane comeback in the second half to take the second game and stay alive to see the second match. Team Heretics picked up the pace in the final game, ending the first half in their favour. GenG mustered a few rounds in the second half but failed to secure the win.
