VALORANT Champions is currently in the group stage, and one team has already crushed the dreams of most VCT fans hoping for perfect Pick’Ems.
After China’s disappointing run back at Masters Shanghai, VCT fans were doubtful of the region’s four teams heading into Champions. Group C, for example, seemed like it would be an uphill battle for China’s Trace Esports to come out on top above the likes of Leviatán with two world champs in aspas and C0M. Fast forward to today: Trace not only defeated Leviatán, but also secured the first-place spot in Group C, meaning the Chinese squad is already qualified for the playoffs stage. Few VALORANT players could have predicted this outcome.
