Lower bracket kings: FunPlus Phoenix eliminate Leviatán from VALORANT Champions

FunPlus Phoenix eliminates the final LATAM team from VALORANT Champions in a clinical two-map series. 

The first elimination match of playoffs at VALORANT Champions Istanbul has the former Masters: Copenhagen champions FPX taking on the number one seed from LATAM Leviatán. The dominance Leviatán showed through the group stage was not present during the opening map on Icebox as FPX out-fought their way to an early 7-0 lead. A thrifty round from Leviatán was all the team needed to finish the half with a four-round deficit.
