Acend withstand monster map from Mixwell, eliminate G2 from playoff contention in EMEA VALORANT Champions Tour

With both Acend and G2 Esports fighting for a playoff spot with their backs against the wall in EMEA VALORANT Champions Tour Stage Two, Acend held on despite a dominating opening map from G2’s Oscar “mixwell” Cañellas Colocho, securing a necessary 2-1 victory.

The series began in stunning fashion, with mixwell and G2 dismantling Acend on their map choice of Split. With no initiator on their attack side, Acend had no answer for mixwell’s Chamber, and their entry player zeek (on Raze) only got two first kills against eight first deaths. Acend’s Jett star cNed had an abnormally abysmal game; two total kills and 14 deaths. Mixwell, on the other hand, notched 23 kills against only eight deaths, leading to an impressive 13-3 win on Split.
