LOUD closes OpTic rivalry chapter with world championship win at VCT Champions 2022
The definitive VALORANT rivalry of the 2022 VCT season came to a dramatic close Sunday, with LOUD and OpTic meeting for a fifth time this year in the grand final of VCT Champions 2022.
The series started at the scene of LOUD’s stunningly dominant victory in the winner’s final, Ascent. But OpTic looked much more capable this time around, taking control after the buy rounds began on defense, peeking early to disrupt LOUD’s executes before retreating to safe, deep angles. OpTic’s defense was truly highlighted by aggressive Marved lurks and opening duels from yay, leading to a 7-5 lead at half-time.
