The finale of the Valorant Championship Tour: North America Stage 2 Challengers Finals between Sentinel and Version1 was quite a dominating match-up for the former.

TenZ and co. won $40,000 as well while the runner-ups had to settle down with half the amount. The veto is as follows: –
- Map 1: Sentinels pick Bind
- Map 2: Sentinels pick Haven
- Map 3: Version1 pick Icebox
- Map 4: Version1 pick Ascent
- Map 5: Split is the decider

Map 2 – Haven
