Top two NA VALORANT Challengers pay tribute to Twisten with a Shorty joust

In the North American VALORANT Challengers finals on June 10, M80 and The Guard, two teams already qualified for Ascension decided to pay tribute to a fellow competitor whorecently passed away. One of the best players in Europe, Team Vitality’s star duelist Karel “Twisten” Ašenbrener died on June 6, surprising and saddening the entire competitive VALORANT community. The two teams agreed to a Shorty duel in honor of Twisten, known for his immaculate use of the sidearm.

On the first map of Fracture, both teams agreed to buy only Shorties, taking the zipline one by one. This led to a joust, where one player from M80 and The Guard would meet up partway through the zipline, dueling with the sidearm.
