KRÜ Esports took the entire Valorant community by surprise as they delivered an extraordinary performance in the VCT Americas Last Chance Qualifiers, defeating Leviatan and securing their slot at the Valorant Champions 2023.
Undoubtedly, KRÜ Esports was not considered among the top favorites to win the Last Chance Qualifiers. As the only team in the region to go without a single victory in the regular season, they finished the VCT Americas League with a disappointing score of 0-9. Moreover, their performance in this year’s LOCK//IN event ended with a discouraging 0-1 loss.
Starting from the bottom seed in the Americas LCQ, the South American esports organization pulled off the unthinkable, winning back-to-back games to go 5-0 during the event and qualify for VCT Champions 2023. This signifies the organization’s third qualification for Champions, the grandest annual Valorant tournament, renowned for its colossal prize pool of $1,000,000.
What’s even more impressive is the fact that KRÜ Esports only dropped three maps in the entire LCQ tournament.
“We’re so back,” KRÜ’s head coach, Atom, said in a press release after securing their qualification to Valorant Champions 2023.
The heavily anticipated Valorant Champions 2023 is all set to kick off on August 6, 2023. Sixteen of the best Valorant teams from throughout the globe will battle it out in the big stages in a double-elimination format as the top eight teams move on to the playoffs.
