Acend are the winners of the Valorant Champions, the final Valorant Champions Tour event of 2021. They have bested Gambit Esports in a best-of-five grand final and given us the best Valorant match of the year. Not only did Acend win, but they did it in style, even utilizing some of the more non-meta picks such as Breach and Omen.

Gambit Esports came really close as well, first surviving the surprisingly tough group C, and then overcoming X10 and KRÜ Esports in the quarterfinals and semifinals matches.

Finally, they clashed with Gambit Esports and fought tooth and nail for the ultimate Valorant esports title. In the end, Acend was the superior team, but Gambit really went the distance. Both teams showed some incredible skills and the fans in both camps were left completely satisfied with the overall performance that day.

The Best Valorant Tournament of the Year

I think we can safely call Valorant Champions the best Valorant tournament of the year. It simply had everything that we could have expected, and more.

First of all, there were barely any one sided matches that we’ve gotten used to in previous regional Valorant tournaments. Instead, all of the teams put everything on the line and truly gave it their 100%.

We’ve seen so many twists and turns along the way, from the decline of some of the long-time favourites, to the rise of new teams and different regions. And not to mention all the crazy underdog stories we’ve witnessed throughout the tournament, and especially the group stage. Squads like Team Secret, X10 CRIT, and KRÜ Esports have really made the biggest impact here. And there’s also Cloud9 Blue, the only NA team to have landed into the playoffs.

In short, this Valorant esports tournament has redefined the Valorant meta and reshaped the Valorant landscape we’ve come to know. The NA region is clearly no longer the superior region in the world, and the power dynamics have completely shifted.
