VCT Game Changers Championship semis recap: SR Gold power through as G2 Gozen drop to lower bracket

The upper semis of the VCT Game Changers Championship were a day to remember: the day began with an upset, surged into a nail-biter second matchup, and wound down with an ending that, while expected, still packed a punch.

Team Liquid Brazil triumphed over G2 Gozen in an exhilarating three-map opener, crushing many VALORANT fans. The second match brought another intense three-map clash, this time between Karmine Corp GC and Shopify Rebellion Gold. For a moment, it seemed like the day would end in another major upset—especially after KC took an initial lead on the third map—but the North American favorites held their ground and took the victory eventually.
