The VALORANT Champions tournament kicked off with a bang as Group B, often touted as the toughest of them all, lived up to the hype. One match was a dominant display of skill and strategy, the other a nail-biting affair that pushed the limits of both teams.
For the tournament’s opening match, Gen.G, playing on home turf, dominated Sentinels in a decisive 2-0 victory, settling the score after the VCT Masters Madrid grand final loss. The Korean squad’s aggressive playstyle and impeccable teamwork proved too much for the North American giants. In particular, T3xture, the Gen.G duelist, was a standout performer, pushing Sentinels to their limit time and time again. And despite their reputation as a global VALORANT powerhouse, the NA team found themselves on the back foot throughout the series.
